Jammu, July 29

Amid rising terror incident across Jammu region, the Rajouri district administration has asked the residents not to venture out in forest areas in dark.

A circular by the district administration states: “It has been brought into the notice by the Army authorities that some civilians visit/roam in the forest areas/fields during night hours wearing shawls/ blankets.”

It further stated that as various security agencies often launch search operations in the forest areas during odd hours in order to combat any anti-national activities by miscreants.

“The general public is hereby informed that no person shall visit in the forest areas during night hours from 9 pm to 4 am wearing shawls/blankets etc. without seeking prior permission from concerned army/police authorities in order to avoid any untoward incident,” it said.

A similar order was taken out by Poonch administration earlier this month.
