| VC SNU demands special status for Rajouri, Poonch | | |  Early Times Report
POONCH, Sept 16: Calling upon all political parties and leaders belonging to Pir Panchal region to raise their voice jointly, the Vice Chancellor of Sai Nath University (SNU) and native of district Poonch, Shahzad Malik demanded special status for twin districts of Rajouri and Poonch.
Malik said this while addressing a youth conference in village Kaneti Banola of border town Mendhar of district Poonch.
While making this appeal for political unity, the VC said, it is immaterial what nomenclature is given to this empowered status but we need special attention of government for funds and development.
Citing the example of Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council which the people of Ladakh region got after long political struggle, he asked people to get united.
Dr Shazad requested all elected representatives of the Pir Panchal region to forget their political differences and get united for larger public cause.
He said, for over 70 years of independence of India, yet many areas of their region do not have access to roads, clean drinking water, health facilities and electricity.
People of Rajouri and Poonch had given chance to every political party without any discrimination but unfortunately none of them reciprocated the gesture of the people but remain stuck in their petty political interests, he added. |
