He said that threats won’t stop them from discharging their professional duties, adding that SMC will continue to remove unauthorized hoardings of the institutions functioning with an utter complete disregard to law and safety of students.
He added that SMC will also pursue the matter legally by seeking registration details viz building usage norms, relevant NOCs from all these coaching institutions and hostels functioning in the Srinagar city.
