Addressing the protesting employees, Puneet Sharma, one of the protesters, said that due to non-payment of their wages for about last 30 months, their families are facing financial crisis. Due to the strike, the various services like water and power supply, operation of RO plant and AC plant were badly affected in Super Speciality Hospital, Jammu, which is totally dependent on the services of these need based mechanical workers.
