Srinagar: In a blatant violation of all public respect behaviours, the security agencies especially SSG looking after the security of Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti allegedly resorted to gross harrasing tactics and uncivillized behaviour especially with tourists today along the boulevard stretch.
As CM was supposed to inaugurate the Coffee and Book Shop near Nehru Park the whole area was converted as if it was military garrison. The tourists and trade people suffered acute misbehaviour at hands of SSG. Tourists were clearly aghasted.
Ravi Kumar,a tourist stated -“What kind of behaviour is this as we tourists are being humiliated just because the CM is visiting. The frisking, checking and utter angry behaviour we are being subjected in the name of CM security is utterly disgraceful. Such type of hostile behaviour can do no good to the image of Kashmir tourism.”
Even the Shikara wallas and other tourist trade people called the security arrangements in the entire boulevard area on the eve of CM visit as epitome of harassing tactics and sheerly undemocratic.
