Srinagar: Strike by employees engaged under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) on Sunday enters seventh day.

Several MGNREGA employees were detained by police earlier in the week.
The protesting employees, who sat on a indefinite strike in Pratap Park here, said that they want a written formal order from the concerned minister.
