The Jammu Kashmir (EJAC) president Fayaz Ahmad Shabnam discussed the chronic issue of regularisation of daily wagers with the Chief Secretary and emphasised that ways and means need to be evolved so that the issue is resolved once for all.

These employees have been struggling hard for their regularisation for years together but still the issue is lingering on.
