Restrictions In Civilian Movement During Big Ops, Says Rajnath Singh

Home Minister Rajnath Singh today made a strong push for putting the safety of security forces on the highest priority while they are carrying out big anti-terrorist operations in Jammu and Kashmir. A seemingly unobtrusive car laden with 60 kg of RDX had overtaken a long line of CRPF vehicles from the left before it exploded on Jammu-Srinagar highway yesterday, killing over 40 personnel of the central force. The Home Minister said that from now on, there will be restrictions in movement of civilians for some time whenever the security forces carry out a big operation. "We took this decision after the suicide attack on the CRPF convoy yesterday," Mr Singh told reporters in Srinagar today.
