BHADERWAH, Mar 9: Youth Action Committee (YAC) today held a protest at Seri Bazaar and demanded release of funds for Government Degree College.
The protest was held under the chairmanship of YAC president Naseer Mehboob Padder, which was attended by YAC Patron Raiz Ahmed Najar, Mohan Singh Baloria Vice President, Rohit Sharma Secretary, Sheikh Mushtaq Ahmed General Secretary, Shakti Kumar Bhagat Joint Secretary, Mohammad Hussain Secretary, Saleem Bhat Joint Secretary, Shaid Malik Chief Organizer, Musrat Iqbal, Arif Hussain, Javed Malik and others.
Speaking on the occasion, President YAC Naseer Mehboob Padder said despite making tall claims of ensuring equitable and balanced development among three regions, the Government is discriminating the Bhaderwah in the allocation of funds as the Higher Education Department allocated funds for re-construction and development of all Government Degree Colleges barring Government Degree College (GDC) Bhaderwah.
“Not a single penny was allocated to GDC Bhaderwah for its due renovation and face-lifting”, he alleged, adding that the callous and lackadaisical approach of the higher ups in Higher Education Department apparently has left local brewing resentment over the neglect of GDC Bhaderwah.
Rohit Sharma alleged that Bhaderwah is being discriminated and the recent neglect of GDC Bhaderwah has vindicated the claims of locals about discrimination while making tall claims of the present Government about ensuring equitable treatment exposed.
The protestors also demanded full-fledged University at Bhaderwah, district status to Bhaderwah, opening of Bhaderwah-Chamba-Bani-Khara road and widening of Bhaderwah-Doda road.
