MENDHAR/POONCH: People living near the LoC (Line of Control) in the Mendhar sector of Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district have been asked not to visit forest areas wearing shawls or blankets during night hours to avoid any untoward incident, an official said.
However, they were asked to seek prior permission from the Army or police unit concerned in case of an emergency, an order issued by Mendhar Sub-divisional Magistrate Imran Rashid Kataria said.
The order was issued after the Army raised concern over some civilians visiting the forest areas or fields wearing shawls or blankets during night hours.
