Srinagar: CPI (M) leader M Y Tarigami today demanded implementation of minimium wages act in Jammu and Kashmir.

Tarigami alleged that the workers must be paid as per the laws prescribed. The CPI (M) leader alleged that ICDS workers and ASHA workers are not being paid their wages on time. “We were expecting regularisation of daily wagers, but now they are not being paid wages on time. Even they are losing their work oppurtunities,”he said.
