Students at BGSBU and the Colleges
Baba Ghulam Shah Badshah University and the government medical college draw students from Rajouri, Poonch and further away. Each sets its own rules for missed classes and exams. Your department can tell you what they need.
The Mughal Road
The Mughal Road over the Pir Ki Gali pass is closed for months in winter and can shut suddenly after snow at other times. If you're stuck on one side and can't reach work, an online request saves a long detour. For an emergency, call 108 or 112.
Gujjar and Bakarwal Families
Many Gujjar and Bakarwal families move their herds to the high meadows in summer and come down in winter. If you're on the move with your family and need a certificate for a job or studies, you can apply when you have network.
Government Employees
J&K government staff in Rajouri follow their department's leave rules, and some offices want a government doctor's certificate. Ask your office before applying.
Cold Winters and Heaters
Winters bring chest infections, and charcoal heaters in closed rooms can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Headache, dizziness or drowsiness in a heated room means open the window and get everyone outside.
A Student's Request
A student at BGSBU catches a chest infection in December and misses an internal test. The department wants a certificate. They apply, list the cough and fever and the test date. There's no breathlessness, so the doctor issues a certificate for the days that fit the illness.
Rajouri Through the Year
- December to February: cold, snow on the heights and chest infections
- March to May: the Mughal Road reopens and herds move up
- June to September: monsoon, landslides and stomach infections
- October and November: herds return and the cold sets in
What to Tell the Doctor
- How long you've been unwell
- How high the fever has been, if you know
- Whether you use heaters at home
- Medicines you've taken
- The dates you need covered

Older Parents in the Villages

Working in the Gulf
Many from Rajouri and Poonch work in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar. If you fall ill while home on leave and can't fly back on time, apply before your leave ends and message your employer. Gulf employers may need the certificate attested.
