Curfew continues in Kashmir, non-Kashmiris fleeing Valley | As curfew continues in Srinagar and all other towns of the Kashmir Valley for the sixth consecutive day, people from outside the state working with central government organisations have started leaving the area. The threat perception
among the non-Kashmiris, who were working in different parts of the Valley, has
increased after a series of attacks on the railway stations in Sopore and Budgam.
On Tuesday, shoot- at-sight orders were issued in Srinagar as three more persons
were killed in firing by security forces on violent protesters. The shoot-at-sight
orders were announced through public address systems fitted in police vans in
areas of Dal Gate, Residency Road and All India Radio Crossing in the city. Protesters
defied curfew restrictions in Srinagar , Budgam, Bandipora, Awantipora, Kulgam
and Baramulla and indulged in heavy stone pelting on security personnel. Protests
also spread to Jammu region's Ramban, Doda and Kishtwar districts as people held
anti-government demonstrations and blocked Jammu-Srinagar National Highway . The
demonstrations were also held in Kishtwar and Doda districts. There was also a
shut down in three towns of Kishtwar, Bhaderwah and Banihal of Jammu region. Meanwhile,
the Central government has decided to send nearly 2000 paramilitary force personnel
to the Valley while another 3,200, currently based in the state, will be redeployed
in trouble-torn areas. 32 companies (3,200 personnel) currently posted in different
parts of Jammu and Kashmir will be redeployed in the trouble-torn districts of
Kashmir. |
