Kulgam, Jan 06 (KINS): An abandoned school building in Rahpora, Khudwani, in south Kashmir’s Kulgam district has allegedly been repurposed as a cowshed, raising serious concerns among local residents.
The locals informed news agency KINS that the structure, originally built under the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) scheme, has been neglected for years.
Sources revealed that it is now being used to house cattle, with numerous cows occupying the building meant for educational purposes.
