New Delhi, May 22
After the conditional ceasefire announcement on May 16th, only five incidents of stone-pelting was reported in Jammu and Kashmir, the J&K government informed the home ministry today.
The home ministry had declared last Wednesday that security forces won't be launching operations in J&K during the holy month of Ramzan.
Rajnath Singh had said the decision was taken “to help the peace loving Muslims observe Ramzan in a peaceful environment.”
J&K chief minister MehboobaMufti who first pushed for the move, had welcomed the government's initiative of “creating a peaceful and amicable environment for a sustainable dialogue”.
The government said between April 1 to April 5th, 92 incidents of stone-pelting was reported in the Valley, the J&K government said.
The Mehbooba Mufti government told the Centre that no incident of stone pelting incidents reported during PM Modi's visit to Kashmir on Saturday.
