Srinagar, Mar 3: The four factions of EJAC – EJAC (K) Kashmir, EJAC (Q) Kashmir, EJAC (K) Jammu and EJAC (Q) Jammu have called for five-day employees strike from March 9 to March 13.
 Demanding immediate intervention of the Chief Minister Omar Abdullah in addressing the employees issues, the representative of the employees said that the FM and CM were divided in their approach toward the employee’s issues.
 “While FM says that the government has conceded the demands of the employees due to them, the chief minister says that his government is still considering the demands. The CM is soft toward our demands while the FM is posturing hard,” they said.
