Indian officials warn Kashmiris of possible nuclear attack: Report

[dronedevta]

RINAGAR: Officials in Indian Kashmir warned residents of a possible nuclear attack, advising them to build bomb-proof basements and collect two weeks’ worth of food and water, said a report by Associated Press (AP) on Tuesday.

According to the report, Kashmir police published the advisory on Monday in the Greater Kashmir newspaper, but did not give any particular reason for the sudden concern of a nuclear attack.

The recent skirmishes along the Line of Control (LoC) have heightened tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbours India and Pakistan but both the countries have held talks to ease the tensions.

The recent conflict over the past two weeks has been the worst in Kashmir since a ceasefire was reached in 2003.

The AP report said that the notice by Kashmir police advised people to build bomb shelters with toilets and stockpile food. It also provided advice on how to survive attacks with chemical and biological weapons.

The Indian side was quick to react to the recent conflict as it sent Pakistani artists and sportsmen back home. An Indian political party also intends to protest against the presence of Pakistani authors in Jaipur Literature Festival.

If you guyz dont know then educate yourself that Pakistan is not a signatory in no 1st use nuke policy. India has. Which means, If you guyz tommorow after trying to infiltrate terrorists get reaction from India and get badly pinned down will resort to Nuke attack in the name of 'LAST RESORT' and then say since we dont have no 1st use liability, we shudnt face international fury.

Hope it makes sense that as compared to India Pakistan can get away by different means if it uses nukes on India.

Also its a signal that now India wont take nuke threats anymore.

So you guyz can now again say the same sentences of 'Attack karke dikhao, we have nukes to reply'. Seems, India isnt scared anymore of these GIDAD BHABKI.

SRINAGAR, India – Officials in Indian-controlled Kashmir are warning residents to build bomb-proof basements, collect two weeks' worth of food and water and be prepared for a possible nuclear war.

There was no official reason given for the sudden concern about a nuclear attack in the region, repeatedly fought over by nuclear-armed rivals India and Pakistan. However, a series of deadly skirmishes along a cease-fire line in recent weeks has heightened tensions between the two countries.

Kashmir police published the advisory Monday in the Greater Kashmir newspaper.

The notice advised people to build bomb shelters with toilets and stockpile food. It also provided advice on how to survive attacks with chemical and biological weapons.

INDIA WARNS KASHMIRIS OF POSSIBLE NUCLEAR ATTACK
BY AIJAZ HUSSAIN
ASSOCIATED PRESS


SRINAGAR, India (AP) -- Officials in Indian-controlled Kashmir are warning residents to be prepared for a possible nuclear war by building build bomb-proof basements and collecting two weeks' worth of food and water.

Local officials said the advisory was routine, though it was the first time it had been published in a newspaper. They said it did not signal new concerns about a nuclear attack in the region, repeatedly fought over by nuclear-armed rivals India and Pakistan.

A series of deadly skirmishes along the cease-fire line in recent weeks has heightened tensions between the two countries, and the timing of the advisory surprised many residents in Srinagar, the main city in Indian-controlled Kashmir.

"This is fueling an atmosphere of fear. Educating people is fine but not this brazen way," said resident Fayaz Ahmed.

The notice, published Monday by the Kashmir police in the Greater Kashmir newspaper, advised people to build toilet-equipped basements large enough to house their entire families for two weeks. If there is no basement, residents should construct bunkers in their front yards, the notice advised.

The shelters should be stocked with candles, battery-operated lights and radios, it said, adding that stores of nonperishable food and water should be regularly replaced to ensure it is fresh.

The notice said that during a nuclear attack, motorists should dive out of their cars toward the blast to save themselves from being crushed by their soon-to-be tumbling vehicles.

`'Expect some initial disorientation as the blast wave may blow down and carry away many prominent and familiar features," it advises.

It also warns residents to keep people contaminated by fallout out of their shelters.

Yoginder Kaul, inspector-general at the civil defense and state disaster response force, said the advisory was part of a normal campaign to educate the public, and the information has been available on a government website for some time.

"We routinely train and educate people regarding different natural and man-made disasters and that's our duty. This advertisement too was part of such a campaign. Please, let's not read into this beyond that. Let it be clear that this is purely in the nature of educating people and not connected with anything else," he said.

Both India and Pakistan claim the divided Kashmir region in its entirety and have fought two wars over it.

Earlier this month, three Pakistani soldiers and two Indian soldiers were killed in the worst bout of fighting in Kashmir since a cease-fire accord was signed by the countries in 2003.

In light of the violence, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said Sunday he was reviewing future ties with Pakistan.
