Srinagar, Nov 6: Striking employees of State Road Transport Corporation today threatened to further intensify their agitation to meet their demands including release of pending salaries.
 “We will further intensify our peaceful agitation in support of our demands. Initially, we will join our Jammu counterparts in a sit-in and later gherao the civil secretariat next week,” Chairman of SRTC workers Association Shakeel Ahmad Kuchay told PTI.
 SRTC employees are on an indefinite strike since August 26 against the failure of government to address their grievances and decided to move to Jammu with the shifting of the government to winter capital as part of the bi-annual Darbar move.
 Kuchay, who alongwith several hundred employees left for Jammu by foot from here yesterday, said, “If the government failed to address their genuine demands, we will be forced to march to the national capital and stage a sit-in outside the Parliament.”
 A decision to this effect will be taken next week, he said.
