A day after they threatened mass migration “yet again”, the Kashmiri Pandits have been confined to their transit camps, NDTV reported.
Pertinently, Kashmiri Pandits Tuesday threatened to leave the Kashmir Valley if the administration did not relocate them to safe places within 24 hours. The protests had erupted in the wake of the killing of a Hindu school teacher, Rajni Bala, killed outside her school in Kulgam district yesterday.
According to the report, on Wednesday morning, the migrant Pandit transit camps were sealed off at several places including Indra Nagar in Srinagar, Vessu iin Qazigund.
The Police blocked the entry points and no Kashmiri Pandit was allowed to come out.
The entry gates of several camps have been locked to ensure no Pandits are not allowed to come out.
“We should be relocated so that we can be saved. Our delegation had met the Lieutenant Governor (Manoj Sinha) and we had asked him to save us. We are asking for temporary relocation for two to three years till the situation in the Valley returns to normal. It is the same time frame put by IGP Kashmir for making Kashmir terrorism-free,” a protester told NDTV.
The report further added that barricades have been put up near the transit camps and security personnel checked vehicles to ensure that no Kashmiri Pandit left the area.
