Srinagar: Divisional Commissioner Kashmir, Baseer Ahmad Khan, Saturday appealed the people to stay away from counter-insurgency operation sites for their own safety.
Khan said assembling at the encounter sites is fraught with danger as nobody can predict the trajectory of a bullet and there is also a danger of bullet hitting people after ricocheting. He said people should remain away from such sites to ensure their safety.
The Divisional Commissioner said loss of precious lives is very painful both for the Government as well as the deceased family.
He appealed the parents, community elders and prayer leaders to counsel and advise youths to stay away from counter-insurgency operation sites.
