City cinema houses going from bad to worse

Ill-managed and dirty cinema houses in the city are harrowing experience. With no seat numbers allocated on tickets, those who can push and jostle others get seats offering the best view.
Uncomfortable seats, poor light and sound, dirty toilets and insipid food leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Stench and dirt makes one curse himself on the decision to opt for watching a movie in the city cinema houses.
Cinema houses in other parts of the country are talking about the next generation multiplexes but in the city, they are going from bad to worse.

No respect

It seems that the civil administration in Poonch has no respect for the people who have made the nation proud about them by their contribution to the country.
On the occasion of 63rd Independence Day, Muhammad Razzak, tehsildar of Haveli in Poonch, allegedly humiliated Padamshree Awardee Shambu Nath Khajuria who had come to attend the function organised by the civil administration at Government Boys Higher Secondary School, Poonch.
The victim was sitting in the jam-packed VIP gallery when Razzak entered the gallery and finding no chair asked Khajuria to vacate the seat. The awardee left the venue in disgust. He returned only when senior officers pacified him but the humiliation left a bad taste among the participants.
