‘Unfortunate when people should be demanding schools, playfields,
they are forced to seek protection from firepower'

She said it is very unfortunate that when people should have been demanding facilities of schools, hospitals, playfields and hospitals, they are forced to seek construction of bunkers to save them from firepower. She said it is a point to ponder that what have the people achieved from the hostility of 70 years.
Flagging friendship as the only way forward, the Chief Minister said with peace and cooperation new vistas of progress and development for the people could be opened.

She said the State Government has already recommended to the Centre grant of ST status to members of Pahari community and she would again take up the matter with the Prime Minister.
