SRI NAGAR: The Jammu and Kashmir government has detained Kashmiri Pandits inside refugee camps. It is learned that the government has taken such a step as they threatened of mass migration due to a series of killings.

About 4,000 Kashmiri Pandits working under the Prime Minister's Special Package have threatened to leave Kashmir if they are not relocated to safer places within 24 hours. Police have closed the camps due to threat. All the gates at the entrance were locked. Police are not allowing any community members to leave now. They want the government to arrange buses for people to migrate to Jammu.

We should be relocated so that we can be saved. Our delegation had met Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha and raised our demands. We are asking for a temporary relocation till the situation returns to normal, demanded the group.

​​​Rajni Bala, a Hindu school teacher in Jammu, was shot dead outside a school in Kulgam district yesterday. They raised the mass migration issue as a result of this. Last month, another community member, Rahul Bhatt, was shot dead by terrorists in a similar manner. Following this, the protest was intensified by Kashmiri Pandits demanding their security.
