 JKDYF Fights For A Degree College

ON October 15, the Jammu & Kashmir Democratic Youth Federation (JKDYF) took out a procession in the border town of R S Pura; it started from Sher-e-Kashmir Agriculture office and went up to R S Pura tehsil headquarters. A total of 300 rallyists, of them about a hundred students, gathered in R S Pura Chowk and then marched through the main streets of the R S Pura residential colony, via R S Pura Bazar, before reaching the tehsildar’s office. Here a public meeting was then held by the JKDYF where its state committee members explained to the audience the various problems the youth and the people in general were facing in the present regime. Jammu Kashmir Democratic Youth Federation vice president Kishore said that a degree college in R S Pura is the prime need of the border people and that it is a long pending demand of the people. He said that JKDYF activists were fighting for this cause for the last several years, but the previous as well as the present government had totally failed to fulfil this genuine demand. Kishore further said the JKDYF activists would soon launch their next course of action if the government continued to ignore the demand of a degree collage here.

The others who spoke on the occasion were Juma Ram, S Mandev Singh, Bishan Das, Jainwal Singh, Pawan Kumar, Ravi Kumar, Raju Satia, Devinder Kumar and Naresh Kumar, among others.
