Jammu, May 5: The residents of posh localities across Tawi bridge feel deprived of a facility they would make good use of in the Jammu University campus to keep themselves fit and active, thanks to University authorities who have imposed ban on entry of 'commoners' inside the academic institution for no substantial reason.
