| 2 Armed Police battalions airlifted to Valley for maintaining law and order | | | Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, Sept 14: Two battalions of Armed Police have been airlifted from Jammu to flood-ravaged Kashmir Valley to maintain law and order after attacks on rescue teams.
A week after floods battered Srinagar, policemen are seen regulating traffic at several roads leading to the airport as communication has been restored in most police stations in the city.
"We have inducted two battalions of Armed Police from Jammu for maintaining law and order in the valley," a senior police officer said.
The move comes in the aftermath of several incidents of stone-pelting on Army and National Disaster Response Force teams during relief and rescue operations in the valley, particularly in Srinagar.
Army had yesterday requested the civil administration to deploy police personnel for maintaining law and order.
Communication has been restored in most of the police stations in flood-hit areas in Srinagar, DIG, Central Kashmir Range, Syed Ahfadul Mujtaba said.
Except four, all police stations in the city have been linked with the communication system, he said.
"Efforts are on to connect the remaining police stations for better management and coordination of relief and rescue efforts in inundated areas," Mujtaba said.
Several police stations, which are either not affected by floods or where water has receded, have been turned into base camps for relief distribution in inundated areas, he said. |
