DODA, May 24: President of Thathri Development Front, Kuldeep Kumar Rao has demanded sanctioning a Government Degree College for Kahara and Chiralla tehsils, at some central place between Hr Secondary School Malanoo (Inderwal constituency) and Hr Secondary School Halaran (Bhaderwah constituency) accessible to all the students of both the Tehsils.
He explained that many Government employees and Army personnel of these Tehsils have stayed their families at Head Quarter Thathri for the education of their children with the result that a scarcity of accommodation and very high rates of rent have caused and hence the poor students who want to continue their higher studies, are not in a position to afford their stay at Thathri.
Hence, he added, a Government Degree College for Kahara and Chiralla is required to be sanctioned in the larger interest of the poor public of these remote and backward tehsils of the State.
Rao further said that the Sub-Division Thathri also deserves to be a district on the basis of all those norms which were applied while upgrading Kishtwar and Ramban Tehsils to the status of District.
