He said that Chancellor of BGSBU and CM Omar Abdullah should think on the idea and should take necessary measures for the development of the University. Mir Aijaz said that people of Rajouri and Poonch in general and BGSBU teachers in particular are extremely thankful to Government of India for sanctioning a Medical college for this far flung Himalayan belt.
