JAMMU, Aug 26: In a programme organised here by Tribal Research and Cultural Foundation, elders of Gujjar community have asked the nomad Gujjars not to leave Jammu and Kashmir in search of better market for milk and fodder for their animals.
These elders were advised to struggle for their rights as Scheduled Tribes of the State.
The programme was presided over by noted tribal scholar, Dr. Javaid Rahi while a number of youth were present in it.
Speaking in the programme Rahi said that some members of nomadic Gujjar community are moving to Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pardesh, Uttarakhand etc as they are facing extreme shortage of fodder for their animals here.
He appealed to the Governor Satya Pal Malik to look into the matter.
