Five ‘hardcore criminals’ have been detained under the Public Safety Act (PSA) on charges of disrupting work on mega hydroelectric projects in Kishtwar, officials said on Friday.
Twenty-two others are also under scrutiny for disrupting work on projects of national importance.
Taking a strong stance against crime in the district to ensure law and order, including the safety and security of the public, Kishtwar District Magistrate (DM) Rajesh Kumar Shavan has invoked PSA on five hardcore criminals.
Those booked under the provision of the J&K Public Safety Act 1978 include Mohommad Abdullah Gujjar, Noor Din, Ghulam Nabi Choppan, Mohammad Jaffer Sheikh, and Mohammad Ramzan.
“The individuals booked under the PSA have records of anti-national and anti-social activities records and were not desisting from their illegal acts,” the spokesman said.
