Jammu 01 September :- The Jammu Kashmir Agricultural Students Association will hold a one-day chain hunger strike on 01-10-2025 from 11.00 AM to 6.00 P.M at Maharaja’s Statue, Vikram Chowk. This symbolic protest is to express our deep resentment against the government’s indifference towards our long-pending and just demands.
For several months, we have submitted memorandums, held peaceful protest, and sought dialogue, yet the government has failed to respond. Our major demands include:50: 50 ratios in recruitment as per SRO 179 for Agriculture Extension Officer (Gazetted Cadre Post) Technical
Immediate referral of vacant posts of AEO to JKPSC as per the direct recruitment quota which have not been referred since 2008.
Revoke SRO 442 (100 per cent Departmental Promotions) for non-gazetted entry level technical posts.
This hunger strike limited to 6-7 hours is a symbolic step.
If the government does not accept our demands within the stipulated time, the technocrats will be left with no other option but to intensify the agitation peacefully with chain hunger strikes followed by fasten unto death.We appeal to the media and the public to extend their support to our struggle and help highlight the injustice being faced by thousands of students.
