Protest at Press Enclave

Members of the Jammu and Kashmir Casual Daily Wagers Forum (JKCDF) held a protest at Press Enclave in Srinagar on Tuesday, demanding regularisation of daily wagers. The protest comes amid accusations that the government has failed to fulfil its election promises regarding the regularisation process.

Forum president Sajad Ahmed Parray addressed the protesters, saying they demand that the committee formed for regularisation should submit its report, as promised. "The government should take the matter forward and resolve our issues. They promised regularisation and we want them to fulfil the promise," he said.

Allegations of Delayed Committee Report

Parray said that a committee was formed on the floor of the J&K Assembly to prepare a roadmap for regularisation of daily wagers, with a deadline of six months, but no report has been made public after 18 months. He stated that "neither our expenses have been cleared, nor has our job security been ensured, and no permanent policy has been brought forward," alleging that the government had changed its priorities after coming to power.

The forum president also criticised the government for failing to address the plight of daily wagers, casual labourers, SPOs, and Anganwadi workers, noting that legislators were receiving higher salaries. "Our workers are suffering, struggling and raising their voices, but no one is listening to them," he said.

Upcoming Actions and Warning

Parray announced that a 16-minute film highlighting the struggles and hardships of daily wagers would be released at Tagore Hall in Srinagar that afternoon. He also said the forum will hold a protest at SK Park in Srinagar on September 10. "We will continue our peaceful struggle until the government addresses the long-pending demand of daily wagers," he said.

In a separate statement, Parray warned that elected representatives would once again have to seek public support in upcoming elections if injustice continued. He said around four lakh daily wagers and casual workers had supported the government during the time of elections based on its promises, but "today, the Government has forgotten them and broken its promises."

The forum decided to intensify its agitation if demands are not resolved by September 10.

What was claimed, and who backed it

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status is Contested when two claims on this page negate each other; otherwise it counts the distinct outlets we found asserting that specific claim — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
