To put pressure on State Government, Uttarakhand Library Association staged a protest at Gandhi Park in Dehradun on Sunday.

While addressing the gathering, ULA president MN Negi alleged that Government has failed to provide library facilities in each school and college in the State. The students studying in schools, inter colleges are not getting proper library facility.

Students can gain additional knowledge by reading newspapers, magazines and others in the library, which will help them to get success in competitive examinations. The association has decided to intensify its protest unless the State Government sets up a library in each school and college in the State.

Other protesters said, “There is huge shortage of staff in schools and colleges library of the State so the books which are available in the library are not properly maintained.”

Due to negligent attitude of the State Government in this direction, schools and colleges have no library facility in the State. Their demands include a library in each and every school and college and a librarian should be appointed in the State. They will intensify their protest unless demands are met soon.

Among those present were SD Nautiyal, Durga Prasad, Devendra Singh, Naveen Kumar, Mukesh Rawat, Praveen Bhandari and others.
