The students of a government college in Kishtwar on Wednesday staged a protest against the administration for allegedly not paying heed to their plea regarding hoisting the National Flag in the college.
The students later hoisted the national flag at the college gate after being denied permission by the college Principal.
“Day before yesterday, students come to us demanding that national flag should be hoisted somewhere in the college building. They also wrote to us. I assured them that a decision would be taken after consulting staff and following rules, but they insisted that we must take a decision within one or two days,” said Pawan Kumar Varma, Principal.

“Today they protested and hoisted the national flag at the college gate. We have demanded adequate police security at college gate,” said principal.
He said that some outsiders were also involved along with college students in the protest. Whenever the national flag would be hoisted, the state flag of Jammu and Kashmir would be hoisted along with it.
