Sangarsh- A movement for Justice, Equality, Peace, Prosperity and Brotherhood today held a press conference at Jammu University and has demanded the 24 hours medical facility, early compilation of new boys hostel, construction of four new hostels, and 24 hours canteen facility in the campus for promoting day and night study culture.Speaking on the occasion Mr. Krishan Dev Singh President Sangarsh appealed to the authorities for having 24hours medical facility in the campus. Mr. Singh claimed that there are many incidents when student got ill or got some problems regarding health at night but due to lack of medical facility they faced severe problems in search of medicine and treatment. The Health Center of Jammu University must not work as the official department with its timing from 9:00am to 5:00pm and closed on holidays but it should work as the service rendering centre with 24 hours accessibility and having fine equipments and expert staff for tackling the health situations, he said. Mr. Singh also appealed that there must remain two permanent mobile ambulances one in front of Boys hostel and one in front of Girls hostel to counter any sort of incident regarding the health of students and the health centre must recruit new doctors and staff for the fulfillment of 24 hours medical facility.Speaking during the press conference the General Secretary of the movement Mr. Suresh Kumar raised the critical issue of the construction and compilation of the new boy's hostel near Vivekananda Boys Hostel. Mr. Suresh raised the question mark on the part of authorities that why it has taken more than four years for its construction. The authorities must know the priorities for the students and the basic need for every student who comes from outside Jammu is the hostel facility particularly the students of far flung areas who are mostly deprived from this facility and are forced to take accommodation on rent basis which is very costlier and tire some thus reducing the efficiency of such students in academics, he added.Mr. Suresh appealed to the Vice chancellor University of Jammu for constructing of four new hostels two for boys and tow for girls so that each and every student can avail the opportunity of better resources and a way better future. It is also the need of an hour to amend the criteria for giving hostels. The criteria must be on the basis of the 50% parameters of distance and 50 % parameters of merit.Mr. Suresh claimed that the Sangarsh is in favour of day and night study culture in the campus and having 24 hours library facility and for this it is necessary for having one canteen in the campus which must remain open for 24 hours so that students must remain refreshed from time to time.Members of the working body who were also present include Ms. Tabish Tanvir, Mr. Chinamaya, Mr. Porush Shrikhandia.
