Manjakote agitation continues: Jammu-Rajouri-Poonch highway blocked

Continuing their agitation against the state government and demanding a degree college, SDM post and Munsif Court for their area, the people from Manjakote, under the banner of Joint Action Committee, blocked the Jammu-Rajouri-Poonch highway and raised slogans against the government on Wednesday.

A number of people from the area assembled at the main market and later blocked the highway. They said, “Since the last 15 days, we have been protesting, but the government does not seem to be bothered at all. We are not demanding anything out of the blue, but are fighting for our genuine demand,” they said.

   

The highway remained blocked for over an hour after which the local Tehsil administration visited the spot and pacified the protesters.
