Srinagar, Apr 25 (UNI) In the light of recent incidents and to reinforce a sense of security among students and businesspersons from Jammu & Kashmir residing in various parts of the country, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Friday directed the deployment of Cabinet Ministers to key cities across India.
After the terror attack on tourists in the picturesque Baisaran meadow near the famous resort of Pahalgam, which claimed 26 lives, there have been several reports of harassment and attacks, including on students in different parts of India.

An official spokesman said these senior representatives of the Government of Jammu & Kashmir have been tasked with coordinating closely with their counterparts in the respective State Governments. Their mandate is to ensure the safety, dignity and well-being of J&K residents who may be facing distress, anxiety, or insecurity in the wake of recent developments.

“With a view to instilling a sense of security among our students and businessmen currently in other states, I have deputed my Cabinet Ministers to various cities across the country. The purpose of these visits is to coordinate efforts with the respective State Governments and ensure the safety and well-being of J&K residents,” Office of Chief Minister, J&K posted on X.

“The J&K Government will stand with its people—anywhere, everywhere,” stated the Chief Minister, reaffirming the administration’s unwavering commitment to the welfare of its citizens beyond the territorial boundaries of Jammu & Kashmir.

On Thursday, the all-party meeting, convened by J&K chief minister Omar Abdullah, passed a resolution urging various state governments and Union territories across the country to ensure the safety of Kashmiris.

Jammu and Kashmir Students Association (JKSA) has urged students from the region residing in different parts of the country to stay indoors, avoid public confrontations, and refrain from engaging in inflammatory or political content online.
