In the wake of increased attacks on non-locals and Kashmiri Pandits by militants, the Jammu and Kashmir administration on Wednesday decided to launch night patrolling, domination of areas inhabited by migrant labourers and enforce strict rules to make closed-circuit television (CCTV) mandatory for businesses in the Valley.
The police are mapping the villages and areas where non-local labourers and Kashmiri Pandits live in the Valley to augment the security grid there.
“Security forces have intensified night patrolling in remote villages where Kashmiri Pandits live and non-local labourers work. This is to prevent militants from attacking soft targets,” Inspector General of Police (IGP) Vijay Kumar told The Hindu.
