KISHTWAR, Nov 25: Agitated against shifting of examination centre from Kishtwar to Jammu, NSUI activists today held a protest demonstration against the Jammu Kashmir State Board of Technical Education (JKSBOTE).
A number of NSUI activists, led by Mehran Anjum Mir, State secretary of NSUI, assembled in front of Government Polytechnic Kishtwar and marched towards the District Development Commissioner’s office. They were raising slogans against the JKSBOTE decision of shifting the exam centre.
