J&K Admin Imposes Night Curfew Along International Border In Samba

JAMMU, Jan 8: According to an official order, a night curfew has been implemented along the International Border (IB) in the Samba region of Jammu & Kashmir to improve area dominance by BSF personnel and prevent any illicit activity near the borderline. According to the order issued by District Magistrate Abhishek Sharma on Sunday, the action was done to prevent cross-border infiltration and the smuggling of weapons using drones in the extremely foggy weather conditions prevalent along the Indo-Pak border line. The directive states that civilian movement along a one-kilometer stretch from the IB in the Samba district has been prohibited from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.The DM issued the order, using Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code to establish a night curfew along the International Border (IB). "No person or group of persons shall move in the area up to one kilometre along the International Border in district Samba from 2100 hours to 0600 hours during the night," the DM stated. The directive came about as a result of recommendations made by Border Security Force (BSF) authorities to the district-level standing committee. The BSF suggested imposing a daily night curfew on a one-kilometer-long strip from the IB to help them carry out their duties more efficiently. "The district administration believes that restricting people's movement in border areas is necessary to improve border area domination by the BSF and undermine the devious plans of forces hostile to Indian security," the DM stated in the directive. According to Sharma, if movement is required, the person or people in question must provide their corresponding ID cards to the BSF and police officials. "Anyone found in violation of the previously issued order will face legal consequences." "This order is being issued ex-parte, as it cannot be served individually," the order stated.It further stated, "If not withdrawn or rescinded earlier, this order shall come into force with immediate effect and shall remain in force for a period of two months from the date of its issuance."
