They also alleged that their areas has also been ignored in every field as for as developmental works are concerned. Water supply schemes snapped years back in many villages yet to be restored. For more than 50000 students studying in about 200 schools, including high and higher secondary schools the nearest degree college is at Rajouri or Thanamandi at a distance of more than 30 kilometres. "As the parents of poor people can't afford the studies either at Rajouri or at Jammu/Srinagar due to their week financial positions, more than eighty percent students leave their studies in order to help their parents" said advocate ZA Malik, convener, JAC. In order to press their demand of degree college , the people have decided to organise "Rajouri Chalo March' on Monday.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
