As the seventh anniversary of the abrogation of Article 370 approaches, the Jammu and Kashmir Police has issued a public advisory banning all unauthorised protests or processions. The advisory comes in response to a protest call given by the Mehbooba Mufti-led People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
According to the advisory, no protest, rally, procession, demonstration, or any other public gathering will be allowed without prior permission from the competent authority. The police have warned that any violation of the prescribed legal provisions will be dealt with strictly in accordance with the law.
The police have put in place comprehensive security arrangements to maintain peace, public order, and public safety. The advisory is part of these efforts to ensure a peaceful and secure environment in the region.
The police have appealed to all citizens to cooperate with law enforcement agencies and maintain peace and communal harmony. They have also urged citizens to refrain from spreading rumours or unverified information and to immediately report any suspicious activity to the nearest police station.
The advisory is aimed at preventing any potential disruptions or disturbances on the anniversary of the abrogation of Article 370, which is scheduled to be observed on Wednesday.
