SRINAGAR, Oct 2: Jammu and Kashmir National Conference today expressed concern over the continuous face-off between forces and civilian population in South Kashmir.
Addressing a meeting of south zone party functionaries from south Kashmir, Zone president and Ex-MLC Dr Bashir Ahmad Veeri expressed concern over the situation and said the south Kashmir has been converted into a garrison.
He said CASO and night crackdowns have already put the people to duress and that any further military built up will push people to wall. “The continuous unbridled moment of military vehicles has made the life of the people miserable,” he said.
Veeri said that some people have started migrating due to menacing presence of forces activity in their native places. “Quite recently the news paper reports revealed how thickly garrisoned Redwani area of Kulgam is. The news revealed that in spite of the presence of three camps of Army there, a fourth one is also being commissioned there,” he said.
“The ban on internet facility in many areas of south Kashmir for nearly a week has further aggravated the situation,” Veeri said and urged the Government to show maximum restraint while dealing with people particularly youth.
