Srinagar, March 3: Jammu and Kashmir Police issued a strong appeal to the public to maintain peace, stressing that violence only leads to destruction and hardship.
In a series of posts on X, the police stated, “Appeal for Peace and Restraint Amid Current Developments. In view of recent developments in the Middle East, we respect citizens’ right to peacefully express themselves through lawful means. However, incidents of rioting, stone-pelting, clashes, and disruption of public order at some places are not acceptable.”
The police further cautioned that violence, destruction of property, and confrontation with security forces result in injuries, loss of life, restrictions, closure of educational institutions, and immense difficulties for families, traders, students, and daily wagers.
“We appeal to all sections of society to exercise restraint and refrain from violence and provocation. Police will take strict legal action against instigators and miscreants involved in unlawful activities. Authorities remain committed to upholding the rule of law and protecting life and property,” the statement added.
