Rashid (name changed) is a government official and he has a postgraduate son. “I am afraid of coming to the office. These young boys have lost all honors for the elderly.”
His colleague, Munir (names changed), chimes, “Last week I was stopped by a group of six boys in Khanyar. They wanted to set fire to my scooty to convince Dharan to convince Dharan. HeartFortunately, one of them recognized me and told others to let me go. As I barely covered a distance of 200 meters, I was stopped in a CRPF checkpost. I handed over my key to them and said, because boys could not set my scooty on fire, why don’t you do this? They laughed and let me go. ,
Wahid (name changed), J&K shares a SPO with the police, “The way this decision was taken and implemented, he hurts us. Just imagine, we have dinner on August 4 and went to bed and the next morning we see on TV that our state has been divided into two UT and we have lost our special situation!”
Spos on frontline

The late poster says that India manipulate and misuse Jammu and Kashmir police personnel and does not trust them. “Whenever India wants to take major action in the valley, your weapons are taken away.”
Wahid rubs such rumors. “No, our weapons were not taken away. In any case, we do not always roam with our guns like terrorists. Our weapons are kept instead At the police station. We release them when we go for operation. ,
From Srinagar to Shopian, 14 Jammu and Kashmir police personnel, of different ranks, confirm Wahid’s account.
A senior Shopian police officer says, “After the 2016 Damal Hanji Pora incident, several precautions have been taken to protect our weapons. CRPF and Army are to protect police stations.”
