Srinagar | Aug 11
In a meeting with Dr S S Bleoria, Advisor to Governor, Chief Secretary S S Kapur, Principal Secretary Home, Anil Goswami, Director General of Police, Kuldeep Khuda, the Governor N N Vohra was informed that Srinagar-Jammu-Lakhanpur Highway was open and that traffic was moving smoothly in all sectors.
The Governor has been personally monitoring the sanitization of the Highway to ensure round the clock free vehicular movements.
Considering the sporadic attempts of unseemly elements in Jammu and Kashmir regions to attack or delay trucks and tankers carrying supplies, the Governor directed the Director General of Police to ensure that every District Police Chief provides effective arrangements for trucks/tankers to be moved in convoys with the required protection. Thus, the convoys will move under escort with ROP on the road. Each such convoy will be taken over by the next District Superintendent of Police, along the Highway and handed over to the successive district Police authorities, till the vehicles cross the Jammu and Kashmir boundary. This arrangement will cover the Highway from Baramulla to Lakhanpur.
It was also ordered that each Range DIG will deploy mobile patrols to ensure that no truck/tanker is stranded on the Highway, for whatsoever reason. Each mobile patrol will be equipped with wireless for communication between the patrols and with the Police Control Room. The Zonal Inspectors General of Police will be responsible for supervising these arrangements.
It was disclosed that in the past three days, till today morning, about 2000 trucks had entered the State, of which 972 had arrived in the Valley, including 109 of POL/LPG and 135 of Livestock/Poultry. About 1800 heavy vehicles had moved out, of which 263 carried fruits to the plains. Today morning, 96 trucks carrying fruit crossed Lower Munda on their onward journey. |
