KARGIL, Nov 7: A peaceful protest demonstration was held today by more than 300 JKSSB aspirants of Kargil demanding postponement of JKSSB examination scheduled to be held in Srinagar/Jammu tomorrow.
The protesting aspirants assembled this afternoon in the main market, blocked the traffic for hours together and raised slogans against the district administration for failing to convince the JKSSB chairman to postpone the examination to be conducted by JKSSB in Srinagar, tomorrow.
The aspirants said that the highway which connects Ladakh region with the rest has been closed due to heavy snowfall on Zojila Pass, for last one week but despite all the efforts of the aspirants, the district administration, LAHDC Kargil, MLAs and MLC did not feel it necessary to make any genuine efforts to provide air facilities to the stranded aspirants nor did they try to represent before the Chairman JKSSB to provide an examination centre at Leh/ Kargil.
“Because of the callous attitude of the administration, our future is in peril as many of them have been preparing only for the aforesaid examination for the last three years”, they added.
