J&K Police Appeal People To Stay Away From ‘Processions’

The J&K Police have appealed the people to stay away from processions “to avoid loss of life or injury”.
In a statement issued from the Zonal Police Headquarters Kashmir, a police spokesperson said, “It has been observed that militants make their presence in public protests and on many occasions resort to hurling of grenades and firing. In one such incident in Pulwama on 24-08-2016, 17 police/security force personnel got injured and stand hospitalized. Similarly such incidents have taken place in recent past at DH, Pora, Kulgam and Shopian also.”
The statement issued through J&K Information department said, “the security forces have exercised maximum restraint and not retaliated to avoid civilian casualties.” (Writer-South Asia)
