People stage nocturnal protest to foil arrests =>Panic gripped in North Kashmir’s Hajin town after some people spread the word that police is mulling to cordon the area to nab ‘identified’ stone-pelters. Eyewitnesses told CNS that people made announcement from public address system asking residents to come out from their houses. Reports said that the residents of Mirmohalla, Dangarpora, Kochak Mohalla and adjacent areas came on roads and amid pro-freedom slogans staged a protest. “Police have already claimed that 160 ‘stone-pelters’ have been identified by them and they would be nabbed any time. Keeping this thing in view, people came on roads to foil any attempt of police to arrest youth in the area,” one of the residents of Mirmohalla told CNS that people were on roads for hours during the night. Deputy Inspector General of Police North Kashmir Ghulam Hasan Bhat that some youth have become the source of nuisance as they indulge in stone-pelting every day. “We would certainly arrest them as they are the trouble mongers for us,” he said. He appealed elders in the area to control youth who “unnecessarily hurl stones on police as well as civilians.” (CNS)
