J&K: Students Of Government College In Jammu’s Kishtwar Protest Demanding Hoisting Of The National Flag

The students of a government degree college in Kishtwar, Jammu on Wednesday (24 April) staged a protest against college administration for allegedly not paying heed to their plea regarding hoisting the national flag in the campus, reports ANI.

After being denied permission to hoist the national flag by the college Principal, the protesting students later hoisted the Tricolor at the college gate.

According to the report, a few days back, the students went to the college administration with their plea to hoist the national flag in the campus.

“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,” college principal Pawan Kumar Varma was quoted in the report as saying.

“Today they protested and hoisted the national flag at the college gate. We have demanded adequate police security at college gate,” the principal added.

The principal also alleged involvement of some outsiders along with the college students in the protest. He added that whenever the national flag is hoisted, the state flag will also be there with it.
