Early Times Report

Kathua, Nov 4: Billawar Zila Andolan held meeting at Billawar town wherein people from different villages of Billawar participated. The denial of District for Billawar by the coalition government was strongly resented by the participants.
Speaking on the occasion, Convener of Billawar Zila Andolan Hari Chand Jalmeria Advocate charged the coalition government of pursuing discriminatory policy towards the genuine demand for creation of Billawar District. Districts were created with small areas and lesser population in the valley by Gulam Nabi led Govt. and three districts were created out of one Doda district without adopting any fair criteria.
The new coalition of NC-Cong continued the same policy regarding creating new districts. Present Kathua district is a large district about 250 kms in length and over 100/120 kms in breadth. People of Billawar, Basohli and Bani areas are worst sufferers as they have to travel long distance to reach district headquarter at Kathua which is located at the south east corner close to Punjab and Pakistan. Now after creation of new tehsils, the Billawar, Basohli and Bani area has been readjusted into nine tehsils. Billawar is centrally situated. Therefore, new district headquarter would be better at Billawar. He called upon the govt. to give up its discriminatory policy towards creation of Billawar District.
