They added that IG Jammu who visited Kishtwar district on August 10, 2013 to take stock of the situation and with a purpose to hold a meeting with people of various communities to discuss the situation arising out of communal violence was left disappointed and dejected.
IG intended to take steps to normalize the tense situation but members of minority community skipped the meeting alleging that administration failed to take required steps to avert the trouble. Members of minority community have this grouse that administration utterly failed to provide proper protection in time. a step that would have instilled a sense of security in them.Now after devastation and destruction, there is no point in cops coming to meet the people, they contend while staying away from
"Administration did not provide security when we needed it much as government could have averted the violence had it taken the intelligence inputs seriously," said members of the community.
