Sudhnoti, PoK May 28, 2019:- A large number of unorganized workers took to streets of Pallandari in Sudhanoti district of Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir against Islamabad administration. They shouted anti-Pakistan slogans and accused the government of being apathetic and insincere towards their plights. They said that they are being exploited in their various fields of employment owing to absence of a substantive wage policy in the region. They alleged that the local and the federal administration are plundering the region and not providing any service or facility for the people. A steep rise has been recorded in the inflation and there has not been any hike in remunerations or wages. According to a protester, they are being paid at least 40 percent less than what they deserve.
