He urged the people not to succumb to the nefarious objectives of anti-national groups who may take advantage of the circumstances and seek to disrupt peace and order in Jammu and Kashmir.
In response to a question concerning Pakistan's efforts to poison the atmosphere in UT, the DGP stated unequivocally that various messages were being sent from over the data-border and spread on social media.
