Former Cabinet minister Harak Singh Rawat extended his support to the protesting employees of Uttarakhand Purva Sainik Kalyan Nigam Limited (UPNL) here today. He said the Congress-led state government should fulfil their demand of regular jobs.

The protesters, under the aegis of the UPNL Karamchari Mahasangh, have been protesting at the Raipur bus stand for the past nine days. The protesters said workers deployed with several departments should be given regular jobs. They raised slogans against the state government.

Rawat, while addressing the gathering, criticised the Congress-led state government for not fulfilling the demands of the UPNL employees. He said the state government had given the protesters false assurances. “The government should chalk out effective plans to generate employment opportunities for unemployed youths of the state. The routine works at different departments have been hit due to the protest of the contractual employees of the UPNL,” he added.

Bhawesh Jagudi, state president of the UPNL Karamchari Mahasangh, said the protesters had decided not to call off their agitation until their demands were met.
