Security forces and the police are conducting a “Census” in Jammu and Kashmir, which besides names and phone numbers of residents, also seeks to know if a family member has terror links, has visited a foreign country, latitude-longitude details of the property, if the premises has CCTV cameras installed, and whether any encounter had taken place at the house.
For the past one week, the police have been distributing a one-page unsigned document titled “Census Form” and “Village X Ray” in each household in Srinagar. The Army and central armed police force (CAPF) have also been tasked with collecting such details from each household in their area of operation in Kashmir Valley and Jammu division.
The form has sections such as terror links, encounter, family member settled abroad, visit to foreign country, photograph of the house, photograph of head of family, photograph of other family members, vehicle registration number, Aadhaar number, mobile number, etc.
