Huge rallies vow to take back Amarnath land
Tension flared up in Bari Brahamana following a group clash outside a religious place at Teli Basti in which both sides used stone pelting while about 110 trucks carrying essential commodities to Kashmir, which were diverted by the administration from Lakhanpur to Dhar Road in view of continued blockade of Kashmir bound trucks at Samba, were damaged and their tyres deflated by the mob at Mahanpur in Billawar tehsil of Kathua district on ninth day of complete bandh in Jammu today in protest against cancellation of 800 kanals of land to Shri Amarnath Shrine Board (SASB). Rapid Action Force (RAF) has been deployed in Bari Brahamana to defuse tension.
Jammu-Srinagar national highway too remained closed for most parts of the day. The highway was blocked for three hours in the morning at Ramban and later for four hours at Chenani. Traffic on Jammu-Rajouri-Poonch road was also stopped by the people at Daskaal Morh Chowk in Akhnoor for entire day. |
