Tarar University Campus and Affected Family Reach Settlement; Umar Nazir Kashmiri Issues Ultimatum Until February 27

Rawalakot: A dispute that had escalated between the Tarar University of Poonch Campus administration and a nearby affected family has now been resolved. Over the past two days, tensions in the Rawalakot area intensified after the campus administration, accompanied by the AC of Rawalakot and police personnel, arrived at the site and began constructing a wall.

The move triggered a strong reaction when an elderly woman, along with several other female community members, formed a blockade in protest. In response, AC Rawalakot, Sardar Mushtaq Khan, ordered the arrest of the protesting woman. However, following intervention from local community members, the action was halted, and a local committee was subsequently established to address the issue.

Senior Joint Action Committee leader, Sardar Umar Nazir Kashmiri, later threatened to escalate the protest if the concerns were not addressed. Today, an agreement was reached between the university administration, the district administration, and the local action committee. In a video message following the settlement, Umar Nazir Kashmiri issued an ultimatum, giving the administration until February 27 to meet all of the affected family’s demands.

Kashmiri stated, “All the demands of the affected family must be met. If the issues are not resolved by the stipulated deadline, and a proper route is not provided for the affected family, then full responsibility will rest on the university administration and the district authorities.”

This development comes as a relief to local residents, who have been closely monitoring the situation, and highlights the growing influence of community action in addressing public grievances. Further updates will follow as the administration works to implement the agreed-upon measures.
