JAMMU, Dec 12 : General Secretary JKPCC Shri Vikram Malhotra has expressed serious concern over the shifting of Govt. Girls High School City Chowk Jammu and described it most unfortunate decision of the State Govt.
Mr. Malhotra was speaking in a meeting of Congress workers of Ward No.7 of Jammu East, today. He said that closing of Govt. School in the middle of academic session without making adequate arrangement cannot be described a wise decision. It has created uncertainty in the minds of students studying there. The Govt. should has waited till the end of academic year i.e March-April 2017. He questioned MOS Education and Local MLA, why they are mum over such issues of public concern and why they did not react over the closing of a Govt. School in the middle of session, since both represent the same constituency.
Malhotra added it was total high headedness on the part of the district administration as the District Administration Jammu was behaving in a very authoritarian and arrogant manner, while dealing with such a sensitive issue that involves life and future of several girl students.
On one hand when Mr. Narinder Modi is raising the slogan of Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, the State Govt. in nexus with the bureaucracy is dismantling a Girls High School to make way for parking.
He observed that it was astonishing how without any prior notice the School was closed down and the poor and marginalized parents and students were left in a lurch.
The whole explanation given by the administration that the school was being shifted as a part of the rationalization is a farce and it is just being done to please their political bosses, Vikram added.
PCC General Secretary termed this decision a most unfortunate and demanded that the Govt. High School City Chowk should not be shifted at this juncture.
Mr. Malhotra distributed Active Members Cards amongst the Congress Workers of Mohalla Kanji House, Prem Nagar, Hari Nagar and Christian Colony and urged upon them to strengthen the Congress party in their respective areas, as the Congress is the only party which gives due representation to each and every section of the society. Besides the party has long history of providing best services to the people and to protect the unity and integrity of the State and the Country.
Prominent among those attended the meeting include Thomas Khokhar-Secretary PCC, Michal Wazir, Nassur Masih, Vishal Gupta, Rakesh Badyal, Sanjay Sharma, Raj Kumar, Ram Lal, Ajit Kumar, Rama Devi, Geeta Choudhary, Babli Devi, Depu Kumari, Benu Tezi and others.
