As the Supreme Court of India will pronounce its judgement on a batch of pleas challenging the abrogation of Article 370 on December 11, the people and politicians of Jammu &Kashmir are waiting for the crucial moment with hope, apprehensions and anxiety. The authorities in Jammu & Kashmir have decided to increase security measures across the union territory ahead of the Supreme Court\u2019s judgement on Monday. The police and other law-enforcing agencies in Ladakh, too have been put on high alert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to reports the J&K Police and Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) permanently standing guard at hundreds of pillboxes and sandbag bunkers in the cities and towns and those sent out on daily basis for performing law and order duties will be joined by additional armed personel to reinforce security and thwart off threats to peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Makeshift checkpoints and drop gates, in addition to existing ones are also being laid in select areas of Srinagar and Jammu, along with some other towns. A police official told the media that the police and other law enforcement agencies are keeping a watch on the activities of the opposition parties and their leaders and tracking the movements of former militants, stone peltars and other potential troublemakers. Former chief minister and National conference vice president Omar Abdullah on Saturday expressed apprehension that the opposition leaders in the Kashmir valley might be placed under house arrest ahead of the supreme courts\u2019s verdict on Article 370 petitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Abdullah said they need an excuse to put the opposition leaders under house arrest. He said they were unaware of what the decision will be. The concerned police officials have been asked to track and monitor social media activities more vigorously in the coming days to ensure no attempts are made through them to encourage or stir up trouble. Additional Director general of police (law and order) Vijay Kumar said strict action will be taken against individuals involved in any misconduct or inappropriate use of social media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
