Srinagar, Dec 14: Parts of Srinagar will remain under restrictions as the district administration seemingly has decided to block the JRL proposed Public Jalsa at Anantnag on Friday.
According to sources inside district administration ‘public mood is un speculative’ and ‘risk of failing is dangerous’ which has prompted the district administration to ‘thwart the program’.
“You cannot know for sure what is the public mood and you cannot take the risk of failing to gauge or anticipate what could happen,” sources confided to INS.
The sources also confided, after being asked as to why lay siege over the parts of capital city, he said that: “We know the impulse of people, they can erupt over any thing and seperatists want something to happen so they can cash it on. We cannot work on wait and watch policy. so in view of public safety siege, if you like to call it, is necessary to control the volatile zones.”
While another officials claimed that ‘its routine to impose restrictions in the old city as it is the volatile zone and any incident can shake the district but it is not that district authorities are perturbed by the seperatists call’.
“Yes they have asked people to act tomorrow but people donot listen to them but to remain on safer side we cannot let law and order be decided on ‘what if not’,” disclosed the official.
Restrictions will remain in effect in areas under six police station including Rainawari, Nowhatta, Khanyar, MR Gunj, Safakadal, Maisuma and Kralkhud partially.
