| Police cracks whip on separatists; normalcy to return soon | | Valley unrest | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, Sept 20: Cracking a whip against the trouble mongers and separatist elements in Valley, police on Tuesday established helplines to provide people a major relief from rampant attacks of stone pelting mob.
"A large number of reports have been received wherein the miscreants have been resorting to hooliganism, stopping/disrupting the traffic besides damaging the vehicles including those carrying fruits and essential commodities, damaging the public property and creating disruption in opening of shops etc," JKP spokesperson said this evening in a statement.
The police department has established help lines for the people seeking assistance of "any manner".
These help lines have been established in the police control rooms across the Kashmir.
The general public who wish to inform about any issue, problem being faced by them at the hands of miscreants may dial telephone for necessary assistance during any time they wish.
Interestingly, a day when police established the helplines for people, Srinagar witnessed the signs of normalcy on its streets. What dazzled in the summer capital was how the poor vendors and auto rickshaws started moving towards the main markets. The private vehicles too started plying on roads with people heaving a sigh of relief from months of continuous lock down.
"The stone pelters from everywhere had wrecked havoc. They didn't even allow a private vehicle carrying a patient to the hospital. Srinagar had goons ruling the streets- that was in corrigible," says a University student, wishing not t0 be named.
The vendors who came on the roads to sell fruits, vegetables and commodities of daily need said their livelihood was snatched away from them without any fault of theirs. "The stone throwers would dismantle our carts and throw commodities on roads. We used to plead before them that we have no other source of income but they would listen to none," says Imtiyaz Gulzar, a local vendor in Dal Gate.
The customers surrounding his cart too echoed the same views, saying few stone throwers had envisaged the lives of entire Srinagar and damaging the public property had become their sole purpose. "They would attack even the private vehicles carrying women and children with stones.
God knows where from they had come but they truly weren't pro-people," says Mushtaq Nazir, a Sonawar resident who had visited Lal Chowk after more than a month.
Even the students hailing from the poor background were finding it hard to make to their tuition centres."Till recently we had our tuition centre functional but some youth came there, threatening out teachers to lock down or they will burn the entire building. From next day, our centre was closed," said a group of students. |
