Hurriyat (M) demands restoration of 4G services, immediate release of prisoners

Srinagar: Hurriyat Conference (M) Friday expressed serious concern over the alarming situation arising out of coronavirus across the world. It appealed to the people of Jammu and Kashmir to strictly follow the preventive measures and guidelines as suggested by medical experts and concerned agencies, so that precious human lives are saved and the deadly disease is prevented from spreading further. It has appealed to people to stay indoors to contain the virus and prevent its spread.

In a statement issued to wire service—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), the Hurriyat asked the authorities for immediate release of all Kashmiri prisoners languishing in various jails across India, on humanitarian grounds as their wellbeing is under threat in wake of the corona virus outbreak. Crowded jails are most vulnerable in the spread of the virus among inmates, which is a matter of grave concern. It said that in view of this global health crisis that has spread to the valley, 4G internet facility should be immediately restored.

“Given the widespread negative impact of the corona virus disease (for which it was declared pandemic), authorities must impose an immediate ban on the entry of non-locals and foreign tourists to Kashmir,” the statement said—(KNO)
