Srinagar: The protest by Kashmiri Pandit employees over the killing of their colleague Rahul Bhat entered 13th day on Tuesday as the protestors did not resume duties even after assurances given by Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha during his visit to Sheikhpura migrant camp.
The employees continued their protest saying they won’t resume duties till their demand for relocation outside Kashmir is met.
Shouting slogans against district administration, the protestors raised slogans like “we want justice”.
Sinha on Monday visited the Sheikhpora migrant camp where Kashmiri Pandit employees have been protesting the killing of Rahul Bhat, and assured them that their problems will be addressed honestly.
Bhat (35), who had got the job of a clerk under the special employment package for migrants in 2010-11, was shot dead by terrorists at his office in the Chadoora area of central Kashmir’s Budgam district on May 12.
Divisional Commissioner Kashmir had last week directed deputy commissioners to accommodate Kashmiri Pandit employees close to their places of residence or at district headquarters, whichever is feasible for them.
