J&K Governor Satya Pal Malik Appeals To People Not To Believe In Rumours

Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik has reportedly asked people to not believe in rumours. “A lot of rumours are spread here, do not pay any heed to them.

Everything is fine, everything is normal,” PTI quoted Malik as saying when asked about the orders appearing on social media about the possibility of a prolonged law and order situation in the Valley.

Reiterating that any order appearing on social media has no validity, Malik said, “If someone catches a sneeze in Lal Chowk, by the time it reaches Governor House, it is projected as a bomb blast.”

It may be recalled that the Centre decided to dispatch an additional 10,000 personnel to Kashmir to “strengthen the CI (counter-insurgency) grid as well as for maintaining law and order”. This deployment lead to lot rumours about the government’s plans.
