Srinagar- The employees and daily wagers of Jammu and Kashmir Project Construction Corporation (JKPCC) on Monday continued with the sit-in protest at Haft Chinar Office saying they are yet to receive salary from the last four months.
The employees who are on a pen down strike said they are at the receiving end as the higher officials have failed to address their issues.
