GDC Thathri Hunger Strike Ends After Nine Days as Administration Accepts Key Demands
The nine-day-long hunger strike for the Government Degree College (GDC) Thathri campus concluded on Friday after the administration accepted two major demands of the protesters — shifting the college from its existing building to a safer and more suitable location and finalising land for the construction of a permanent campus. The agitation, which began on August 20 with social activist Manoj Kumar and later saw participation from Raj Kumar, Amir Zargar, Saqib Hussain, Irshad Ahmed and Nasir Alam, gained widespread public and political support. JKPCC President Tariq Hameed Karra expressed solidarity with the protesters and criticized the prolonged delay in educational infrastructure, while Doda MLA Mehraj Malik played a key role in facilitating discussions with Education Minister Sakina Itoo and district authorities. Following the administration's acceptance of the demands, the hunger strike was formally called off as ADDC Doda offered sweets to the protesters, bringing an end to a movement that had revived public attention on one of Thathri's longest-pending educational issues.
