Where shall we play cricket/Football?’: Local youth protest , says govt are going to make here University .

Scores of local youth on Sunday staged a protest against the Administration over its decision to convert Madankhah fields into University campus…

The youth hailing from Kanihama, Kanipora, Nowgam, Chanapora , Rawalpora ,Dal Gate, Abi Guzar and adjoining areas assembled at Madankhah today and started a massive protest from the players . They exclaimed that on one side they are saying we want to save our youths from ill evils like drugs etc. but on the other hand they snatched our all playing modems, said one of the protesting player.

Players oppose tooth & nail against this order & says clearly we will not compromise on snatching our playfield which are made by us with sweat & with our own money .
