Srinagar, Dec 09 :
Jammu and Kashmir Transport Welfare Association on Tuesday announced a one-day token strike on December 15 over their “long-pending” demands.
Addressing a press conference in Srinagar, the association General Secretary Sheikh Mohammad Yousuf, per news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), said transporters from both Jammu and Kashmir divisions have unanimously decided to observe the strike as a mark of protest.
He said the transport sector is “on the verge of collapse” due to the government’s “failure to address key issues,” including the unregulated operation of e-buses, steep hikes in fitness and green taxes and arbitrary e-challans.
He said the association will give the government a seven-day ultimatum after the strike, warning of a “major decision” if their demands remain unfulfilled—(KNO)
