In a determined protest, ad-hoc government employees in Pakistan-occupied Jammu & Kashmir (PoJK) have gathered outside the Central Press Club in Muzaffarabad. The demonstrators are demanding the regularization of their long-term, temporary positions, many of which have spanned over two decades without being made permanent, unlike their peers in other parts of Pakistan.
Amidst high temperatures and growing uncertainty, these workers, now in their 40s and 50s, argue that their prime working years have slipped away under false promises of job security. Facing potential dismissal without pension or alternative employment, they denounce the systemic injustice. “The prime of our youth was used, and now we’re being ousted,” one protester declared.
