Srinagar (NVI): While the government is going all out to restore normalcy in Jammu and Kashmir, some yet unidentified miscreants are threatening locals of retribution if they opened shops invoking stern warning from Srinagar authorities.
District Magistrate, Srinagar, Dr Shahid Iqbal Choudhary yesterday issued strict warning to miscreants threatening residents of the district for going about their routine life affairs.
The warning was issued in the backdrop of reports of threatening posters appearing at certain places with messages of retribution for opening shops or going about other routine affairs.
Touring around the city, the DM interacted with the locals at several places in order to get a public sense of the matter.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr Shahid Iqbal Choudhary said the aim of such tactics seems to be to create fear among the population. He assured the general public that the district administration in association with the district police is closely monitoring things.
Dr Shahid also urged the people to immediately report instances of intimidation of this sort at local police stations assuring that action would follow immediately and that the miscreants would be dealt with sternly.
