Srinagar, Dec 09 (KNC): The Jammu and Kashmir Transport Welfare Association on Tuesday declared a one-day token strike scheduled for December 15, alleging prolonged indifference by the government toward their long-pending demands.
Speaking at a press briefing in Srinagar as per news agency Kashmir News Corner — KNC, the association’s General Secretary, Sheikh Mohammad Yousuf, told KNC that transporters from both Jammu and Kashmir regions have jointly resolved to suspend services for a day as a protest move.
He said the transport industry is “on the brink of collapse,” blaming it on the government’s inaction over crucial concerns such as unchecked e-bus operations, sharp increases in fitness and green taxes and frequent e-challans.
Yousuf added that after the strike, the association will issue a seven-day ultimatum to the administration, cautioning that they may resort to a “stronger course of action” if their grievances are not addressed. (KNC)
