On deplorable condition of Gandhi Bhawan Complex adjoining Civil Secretariat, Jammu, Charak urged upon the administration to take appropriate measures to prevent its misuse for idle parking.
Prem Sagar Gupta, Brig. M.S Jamwal, Gambhir Dev Singh Charak and others were also present in the press conference.
