fire tear gas shells to disperse the mob. In fact, the spokesman said, that the
Minister conducted a three days whirl wind tour of various areas including some
inaccessible and hilly villages of District Budgam very smoothly to take
stocks of restoration works under taken by the District administration post
snowfall. He said during the tour of the Minister, they locals in thousands
thronged to greet him and also apprised him about their problems created due to
unexpected heavy snowfall. They demanded early redressal of their grievances
The spokesman said circulation of the news report without
ascertaining its authenticity was against ethics of journalism which can
be a mischief engineered by some disgruntled political elements who are
unnerved with the ever growing popularity of the Minister among the
masses. Even as per the report of the news agency, the concerned Station House
Officer, Charar-i-sharief, when immediately contacted by it in this regard, had
totally denied the report of any attack on the Minister’s Cavalcade. (KNS)
