Interestingly, former chief minister, Omar Abdullah cited another communiqué by district police lines Ganderbal for making provisions for lodging central forces and said such orders create panic in Kashmir and sought an explanation from the government.
“Government orders are creating panic in Kashmir and after all lies last year even if govt explains, hardly any one of us will take the assurance at face value. Still need to explain these orders,” he tweeted while alluding to abrogation of Article 370.
