YB News Jammu,Jan 20 Apni Party Provincial President Jammu Manjit Singh has demanded 80 % reservation of posts for the unemployed local skilled and unskilled jobs in the industrial sector. Addressing a meeting of the Apni Trade Union at the Party Office in Gandhi Nagar, Manjit Singh said that unemployment is one of the major issues for J&K which is yet to be handled by the Govt. “However, the already engaged daily wagers, and Special Police Officers (SPOs) are also waiting for their regularization. The commitments must be fulfilled by the Govt with the regularization of temporarily engaged workers in different departments including NHM workers,” said Manjit Singh. He said that there is frustration among the unemployed youth in J&K which needs to be addressed by the Govt without further delay. “Delaying assembly elections in J&K will further add to the feeling of alienation especially among the unemployed youth,” said the Provincial President, Jammu, Manjit Singh. He said that “The industrial sector is one of the main sources of providing employment to the youth. It is therefore important to engage local youth and reserve jobs for them in the industrial sector in both skilled and unskilled.”
