The students marched from girl’s higher secondary school to Lal-chowk where the students raised slogans against the local administration for failing to deliver basic facilities.
The students said that while on one hand the slogan of “Beti Bacaho Beti Padao” is being raised but there is no basic sanitation and other facilities available in Kargil fro girl students.
They further added that despite being the only girls higher secondary school in the entire district the male principal is not even paying attention on any single demand of the students.
