Ganderbal: Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Saturday said the Schools, Colleges, bridges and other buildings will be named after the “great heroes and sons of the soil” who laid their lives for India’s integrity, peace, protection and prosperity in J&K.
Last year, the administration ordered ‘all the schools in Jammu and Kashmir to be renamed after the Indian army soldiers, CRPF men, and Jammu and Kashmir police personnel who were killed in the line of duty while serving the nation’ and many schools in Kashmir valley have already been renamed.
“We can’t forget the contribution of brave hearts who sacrificed their lives for the integrity of the country and those who kept the national flag of India high in J&K,” LG Sinha said on the 32nd death anniversary of Sheikh Abdul Jabbar at Lar, Ganderbal.
“Schools, Colleges, Universities, Hospitals, and even bridges will be named after these great heroes as they deserve it,” he said.
LG said that important buildings will be named after Sheikh Abdul Jabbar who fell to the bullets of militants 32 years ago for his commitment towards country’s sovereignty, peace and prosperity in J&K. He was a great son of soil whose patriotism can never be forgotten.
“Ishfaq’s wife who is also DDC member, is also working to strengthen the panchayati raj system by ensuring round- the- clock development of Ganderbal district,” he added.
