JK: Revenue officials' strike enters second day

Revenue officials (Patwaris) across Jammu and Kashmir continued their strike for the second consecutive day today in support of their various demands, including removal of pay anomalies.

Under the banner of All Jammu and Kashmir Patwari Association (AJKPA), a number of protesting revenue officials assembled here and staged demonstrations against the government.

The Patwaris are demanding, among other things, removal of pay anomalies and recruitment of more Revenue officials.

"We are aware about the problems faced by the general masses but our strike has been forced by government's failure to respond to our demands," an AJKPA spokesman said.
