JK Police asks nearby residents to stay indoor during encounters
Srinagar, Feb 18 (IBNS): Police in Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday asked people living within two-kilometres from the site of a gunbattle to stay indoors.
“In case any encounter starts anywhere, the people particularly the parents of young adults of nearby area are requested not to allow their wards to move towards the encounter site. In case they are outside home they (should) be recalled to home,” said an advisory.
It said that the residents of nearby areas within the radius of two kilometers should stay inside their homes and need not venture out as any stray bullet can hit and cause damage.
“The residents are also requested not to come out of their houses or peep out of the window panes,” it said.
"As 144 CrPC immediately comes into force at encounter site and around them, the elders, Chowkidars and village headmen are requested to advise people to stay away from encounter site," the advisory said.
“Assembly of five or more people be discouraged as it is prohibited under the provisions of this section of CrPC. It also appealed people not to rush towards encounter sites because of chances of unexploded grenades/explosives being lying there."
“The people, particularly respectable, should ensure that the encounter site and area around is properly sanitized by the police or any other security agency, before they come near it,” it said.
Police Advisory comes days after when security forces allegedly short dead two persons including women in Pulwama District of South Kashmir when they where protesting in favour of militants killing in the same area on Sunday.
