Ensure safety of Kashmiris: Centre to states

NEW DELHI: The Centre on Saturday asked all states to ensure safety and security of people from Jammu and Kashmir living in their areas, in the wake of threats to them in some parts of the country, officials said.

Some Kashmiri youths studying in Dehradun have alleged that they were harassed and asked by their landlords to vacate accommodations, fearing attacks on their properties in the aftermath of Pulwama terror strike.

A village panchayat in Ambala has asked its residents to evict Kashmiri students living in rented accommodation within 24 hours, according to a video that has surfaced on social media.


In the video, Mulana village sarpanch Naresh Rana alleged that some Kashmiri students were involved in “suspicious activities”. Half-a-dozen Kashmiri students have been shifted to the hostel of MM University in Ambala after the purported video appeared.
