Expressing resentment against the working of the BJP ministers and MLAs, CCI and JKNPP called for one-day Jammu bandh.
The CCI members however, held protest demonstration against the “unaccountable” and “insincere” working of majority of ministers in the PDP-BJP coalition government.
Protesting Chamber members also shouted slogan against the BJP while a mini bus was damaged near Shalamar Chowk by the demonstrators.
Panthers Party activists led by chairman Harsh Devi Singh took out the protest rallies.
‘’The time has come when not only trade, industry, transport but every common man who is citizen of J&K needs to wake up against the unilateral attitude of the people occupying the seats of power and question the working of majority of ministers who feel that they are not accountable,’’ Rakesh Gupta, president CCI Jammu here told mediapersons.
''If our genuine demands are not met and if proper accountability mechanism is not activated then the Chamber and the people of Jammu shall have no option but to go for indefinite bandh soon after Navratras,’’ he said.
Other demands of the Chamber also included revocation of toll tax at Lakhanpur, slow pace of acquiring land for AIIMS, enquiry into shelving of artificial lake project on River Tawi, Master Plan for Jammu, Power Crisis, incentives to Industry, State Holiday on the Birth Anniversary of Maharaja Hari Singh and illegal settlement of Rohingyas.
Meanwhile shops at some places of the winter capital were seen open.
Government schools and offices witnessed thin attendance while private schools announced holiday as preventive measure. UNI
