He appealed to the UT administration to take stronger steps on the issue as Govt schools in almost all the rural areas of Udhampur are under stress due to the huge shortage of teaching staff.

PRI members and locals submitted a memorandum to Deputy Commissioner with the demands to provide teaching staff in schools, starting of balance work of NTPHC Ladda, road connectivity to unconnected areas of Ladda, additional accommodation for Govt schools and timely implementation of various Government welfare schemes.
