She further said that they are not asking government to give them treasures but only are saying that they should help them as they are being killed by the terrorists operating in the valley.

“Our posts are supernumerary that means we can be posted to other places also, we have worked in worse conditions there in the valley and we can also continue our services here in Jammu in normal situations only if govt allows us , I don’t know what government is really doing”, she said.

She added that their parents raised them in tents when the Kashmiri pandits were forced to leave the valley in the nineties, where they were raised in deteriorating conditions.

“We do not know what is wrong with the majority community because we are working for them there and in return they are killing us”. Many from my community has laid their lives in the service of our country, we have given many intellectuals and we have also contributed in many other fields, but why administration is not understanding our situation” she further added.

Moreover, she said that the PM package employees who are agitating is only in some thousands not in lakhs, so why the govt is not doing anything for them.
