Official sources said that under the central guidelines the state Government has been told to initiate firm measures against those indulging in violence and at the sametime order action against those security personnel or officers who order firing on the protesters.

Under the new tough measures number of Srinagar based newspapers have failed to hit the stands because of cur fgew restrictions.

The State Government has decided to order probe in any other such incident and the guilty would be punished which could help people in developing confidence in the Government. Sources said that the law and order problem has been entrusted to those who head the various forces while the ruling alliance has been asked to concentrate on blunting the campaign launched by the separatists.
