Addressing the protesters, Mohinder Bhagat, President of Bhagat Maha Sabha J&K, extended his unconditional support to them and urged the government to immediately transfer all Jammu-origin employees to their respective home districts as they are not part of a rehabilitation policy of the government and frame a comprehensive transfer policy in their favour at the earliest.
