The press conference was attended by Party Vice President Zaffar Iqbal Manhas, General Secretary Rafi Ahmad Mir and Provincial President Kashmir Mohammad Ashraf Mir.

“The livelihood of around five lakh local families who since ages have been affiliated with the extraction, supplies, transportation and construction businesses have been severely affected by the present anti-people geology and mining policy,” Bukhari remarked.

He said that instead of taking people friendly measures, the present dispensation in J&K seems content in aggravating the miseries of the general public for unknown reasons.

“It is ironic that the government is boasting about the meager royalty fetched in lieu of minor-mineral resources and on the other it is paying through its nose in procurement of construction material required for its developmental projects!” he remarked.

Bukhari said that raw material extraction contract order issued post August 5, 2019 has adversely affected the mining business in J&K. “We will continue to raise the public interest issues, without bothering for the consequences. Right now the administration seems umoved but I assure all the stakeholders in the geology and mining sector that Apni Party will always struggle for their rights and take it to its logical conclusion,” he added.

Pertinently, the district units of the Jammu and Kashmir Apni Party on Saturday held peaceful protest demonstrations against this policy at various places across J&K. Giving details of these places, Bukhari said the Party held protests in both divisions of J&K.

In district Srinagar the protests were held at Pantha Chowk and Maloora, in Ganderbal at Watal Bagh and Wahid Pora, in Kulgam at Nehama, in Kupwara at TRC Kupwara Buna, in Baramulla at Sheerwani Colony, in Bandipora Near R&B Inspection Head Upto Mini Secretariat, in Shopian at Padpawan, in Anantnag at Sports Stadium Anantnag upto DC Office which was followed by a Tractor Rally at Ashajipora, at Pulwama in Sempora.

Similarly, in Jammu division protests were held near Press Club Jammu Urban, in Jammu Rural-A  Akhnoor near Fawara Chowk, in Jammu Rural-B in Arnia, in Domaana Chowk, in Udhampur at Jethani Chowk , in Samba  at Vijayapur at National Highway, at Kathua in Heera Nagar & Machayri Bani, in Rajouri at Kotranka, in Poonch at Parade Ground, in Kistawar at Main Bazar, in Reasi at Darmadi and in Ramban at Main Ramban.
