J&K government has decided to hire non-locals skilled and non-skilled and provide them campsite accommodation and security in the militancy-hit Union Territory

After most skilled and non-skilled non-local workers fled the Valley following attacks by militants on non-native truck drivers and labourers, the Jammu and Kashmir government has now decided to hire non-locals and provide them campsite accommodation and security in the militancy-hit Union Territory. The Valley is now facing a shortage of workers putting developmental works in a limbo. This has made the administration explore possibilities of arranging skilled labourers from outside the UT.
