A large number of youth and party workers participated in the rally and strongly voiced their demand.
The rally started from the Salani area and passed through various parts of the town. Participants carried placards and banners, urging the Government to set up an NLU in Jammu province.

District president Azhar Mehmood, in his address, said that BJYM is committed to safeguarding the interests of students and will continue to strive at every level to fulfill this demand. He further warned that if concrete steps are not taken soon, the movement will be intensified.
Later, a memorandum was submitted to the Government through the District administration, highlighting the demand for setting up a National Law University in the Jammu region.
