Authorities Reimpose Curfew In Hindwara After Fresh Violence



The authorities of Jammu and Kashmir has reimposed the curfew after a brief relaxation today following some fresh stone pelting at security forces in Hindwara district and in neighbouring Kralgund and Trehgam areas, while mobile internet services were restored in the valley.

Last week, five civilians were killed in the clashes between security forces and people when a rumour of alleging army personal involved in molesting girl when she visited the washroom nearby army check post. However, the girl denied of any wrong doing by any army personal in her statement before the local judiciary and said it was some local youth who tried to misbehave with her. This was the same statement she made on the next day of incident. Earlier, her mother differed with her daughter’s version and pointed fingers against army.

Army cheif General Dalbir Singh Suhag was also in the valley on Sunday and was briefed about the security situation. The central government and army are closely observing the happenings in state. The extra forces were deployed to handle any untoward incidents that may arise. 

Speaking to reporters, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti said, "I appeal to my people especially to the youth that wherever there is injustice, strict action would be taken and severe punishment would be given."

Nirmal Singh, deputy chief minister said, "Definitely there is a conspiracy to disturb peace in areas like Kupwara and Handwara. These areas remained peaceful when there was turmoil in other parts (of the Valley).

"The anti-national elements, the anti-people elements have succeeded in creating a rumour which ultimately led to the unfortunate situation (violence)," Singh added.

By observing all these happenings it is becoming more clear that provoking the police into firing on civilians is the primary motive of conspirators who want to disturb the peace to suit their agenda.
