The students alleged that about 4-5 months back, this Govt High School was upgraded to the Higher Secondary level by the Govt but till date no staff was appointed by the Education authorities and no new 11th class was introduced. They said now when they went to the school to get admission in Class 11th, the Principal told them to go to Rajouri to get admission as he had no staff.
Later, SHO Rajouri moved to the spot but the students refused to lift dharna. A long traffic jam was created there. Then CEO Rajouri, arrived there with the intervention of DC and on his assurance to prove staff shortly, the students lifted dharna at around 1 pm.
