Most such trainers and coordinators have been working for 20 to 28 years and now with retirement around, the sudden termination has pushed them in economic crisis as they stand to lose even their hard-earned gratuity, he said.

Sachdeva said the LG sympathetically heard the combined delegation of vocational trainers and BJP leaders, and assured a report in the matter will be sought immediately.

He has assured the vocational trainers and coordinators that the BJP will ensure that none of them loses their job or gratuity.
