Sopore: Scores of sweepers working in the School Education Department protested in Sopore, asking authorities for regularisation of their services.
The women working in the department across Sopore gathered at Iqbal Market, raising slogans in support of their demands.
“We have been continuously raising our voices, but nobody seems interested to listen to our pleas. We are working on meager wages, but who cares?” said one of the protesting women.
They said, we are working tirelessly in the School Education Department since being appointed in 2006, and since then, there have only been false hopes about our welfare.
The protesting sweepers demanded that their services be regularised at the earliest.
They also appealed to the LG administration and Director of School Education to look into their demands and address them accordingly.
The protesters later on dispersed peacefully after intervention from the police. (GNS)
