The laborers, who have been working in the region for several years, expressed frustration over the delayed payments, claiming that they have not received their wages for an extended period, causing significant financial hardship. Carrying placards and banners, the protesters as per the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) chanted slogans and appealed to the authorities for action. “We have been working tirelessly for years, yet our voices have been ignored," one protester said. “We urge CM Omar Abdullah to step in and ensure our pending salaries are released immediately, bringing an end to the financial distress we’ve endured.” The protest sheds light on the plight of casual laborers in the region, who often face irregular wage payments and lack of job security.
