According to sources a group of people from Machil area approached the Deputy Commissioner Kupwara to apprise him about the inconveniences faced by them due to continuous closure of the Machil-Kupwara road since last two weeks. "It seems that the authorities are not considering Machil as a part of this jurisdiction and don't want to listen to the people of the far-flung areas then "higher authorities of the government should annex Machil with Pakistan administered Kashmir so that we may not suffer anymore, said sources. Sources said that the protesters also alleged that an educational institute namely Government High School Ring Payeen Machil was closed since the schools in the Valley reopened. The staff has been changed in recent reshuffle of the teachers and the new staff was yet to join the school as such the school is closed. "We have brought the issue before the concerned CEO but to no avail," the protesters alleged and demanded the immediate restoration of the road so as the students and the people of the area do not suffer anymore.
