SRINAGAR — Shah Faesal, Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Movement (JKPM), on Wednesday in a tweet welcomed the pilgrims going to the Amarnath Cave shrine, but he objected on the restrictions imposed on locals and said these must be lifted.
“First time in last 30 years SXR-JMU NH (Srinagar-Jammu National Highway) was closed to civilian traffic during elections. Now closed again for Yatra. Those signing orders to stop movement of locals must remember that there will be a day of reckoning. We welcome Yatris to land of Shiva. But this curfew must end,” he tweeted.
