Srinagar, Oct 24 (IBNS): Authorities detained independent MLA Engineer Rashid along with several of his supporters on Monday after he tried to stage a demonstration outside the Civil Secretariat against terminating services of many employees from police and civil administration for their alleged role in pro-freedom protests during the ongoing uprising.

Rashid and his supporters assembled at Jehangir Chowk on Monday morning and started marching towards the nearby Secretariat building but was stopped by police, officials said.

Protesters were holding black flags, placards and banners seeking revocation of termination orders of employees.

On Oct 20, Jammu and Kashmir government announced termination of services of 12 employees for allegedly indulging in anti-national activities after dossiers were prepared against them.

However, when procession reached near the secretariat, heavy contingent of police and paramilitary forces stopped them and used force to disperse the protesters.
