Omar Abdullah Issues First Order to J&K Police

Omar Abdullah instructed the police in the union territory to minimize “public inconvenience” during VIP travels just hours after taking office as the chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir. He instructed the police to refrain from “stick-waving” and “aggressive gestures” as he was traveling by car.

Omar Abdullah also asked the Jammu and Kashmir police to refrain from creating a green corridor for his movement.

“I have spoken to the DG, Jammu and Kashmir police, that there is to be no ‘green corridor’ or traffic stoppage when I move anywhere by road. I have instructed him to minimize public inconvenience & the use of sirens is to be minimal. The use of any stick waving or aggressive gestures is to be totally avoided. I’m asking my cabinet colleagues to follow the same example. In everything our conduct must be people-friendly. We are here to serve the people & not to inconvenience them,” Abdullah wrote on X.

Today, Omar Abdullah took the oath of office as the union territory’s chief minister. Later, Prime Minister Narendra Modi wished the vice president of the National Conference well.

He said the Centre will work closely with him for Kashmir’s progress.
