| Alert sounded in Kashmir ahead of Supreme Court’s verdict on Art 370 | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Dec 9: As Kashmir-centric parties are trying to create a fear psychosis among the masses by giving provocative statements, an alert has been sounded in Valley ahead of the Supreme Court’s verdict on Article 370.
While the National Conference vice-president Omar Abdullah aired apprehension that he would be arrested before the pronouncement of the verdict, Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) Mehbooba Mufti charged the authorities with preparing lists of her party workers in different police stations.
The Supreme Court’s verdict on the petitions filed against the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35-A and the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganization Act will come on Monday.
On Saturday senior police and administration officials held a meeting to review the law and order situation in Kashmir Valley. In the meeting, Deputy Commissioners and Senior Superintendents of Police of all ten districts have been asked to take punitive action against anyone found indulging in any mischief or misuse of social media.
Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order) Vijay Kumar chaired a joint meeting of all the District Magistrates and Senior Superintendents of Police of Kashmir division for the first time in Kashmir.
During the meeting, all the officials briefed Kumar about the current law and order situation and any such incidents that may come up in the wake of the decision. In the meeting, all district heads were directed to keep an eye on the ground and take preventive and punitive action against those disturbing peace. Meanwhile, Omar Abdullah aired apprehensions that leaders and prominent workers of the mainstream political parties in Kashmir may be put under house arrest ahead of the Supreme Court’s verdict on Article 370 petition.
He, however, said that he can only hope and pray the decision is in favour of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. |
