Police issues safety guidelines for nuclear war in India-controlled Kashmir - Globaltimes.cn

Following a series of deadly skirmishes on line-of-control (LoC) between India and Pakistan troops, Indian police issued a directive for people in Indian-controlled Kashmir to adhere to during war.

The directive "Protection against Nuclear, Biological and Chemical (NBC) Weapons" was published Monday in a major local newspaper as an advertisement explaining people how to remain safe in war after NBC weapons are unleashed.

It is for the first time an advisory in shape of Do's and Don' ts has appeared in the newspapers published from restive Indian- controlled Kashmir.

The notice guides people on how to respond before, after and during the attack of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons in the times of war.

The armies of India and Pakistan recently engaged each other in deadly skirmishes on several locations along the 720-km-long LoC for 10 days. During this period since Jan. 6 five troopers on both countries (two from India and three from Pakistan) were killed, thereby heightening tension between the two nuclear neighbors.

Both New Delhi and Islamabad accused each other of resorting to unprovoked firing on LoC and breaching the ceasefire line. Following the escalation of tension, cross LoC Trade and Travel was impacted.

The cross LoC trade and travel are considered as biggest confidence building measure (CBM) between arch-rivals India and Pakistan.

Kashmir, the Himalayan region divided between India and Pakistan is claimed by both in full. Since their independence from British, the two countries have fought three wars, two exclusively over Kashmir.

LoC is a de facto border dividing Kashmir into India and Pakistan controlled parts. In the wake of recent ceasefire violations on it, both armies of India and Pakistan increased the vigil on ceasefire line.

New Delhi and Islamabad in 2003 agreed to observe a ceasefire along the international border and LoC in Kashmir. Though some violations have been reported on both sides, the ceasefire remains in effect.

According to defense analysts, the allegations of intrusion by India and Pakistan troopers into each other's territory were unheard of since late 2003.

Pakistan said it wants a third party inquiry into the ceasefire violations on the LoC. Islamabad according to reports has already contacted United Nations Military Observer Group in Indian and Pakistan (UNMOGIP) and proposed investigation into ceasefire violations.

However, New Delhi has out rightly rejected any UN investigation saying they do not want to internationalize the issue.

An office of UNMOGIP is also in Srinagar city, the summer capital of Indian-controlled Kashmir. The office was set up in 1949 to monitor the ceasefire line, now known as LoC.

I myself have posted the AP report. I was asking for a source for the BS that @BATMAN said in post number 2. Of course, it was just another of his brainf*rts, and no source will be given for that.

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.

Kashmir Police Publish Nuclear War Survival Tips - ABC News

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.

It's not usual in other parts of the Nation ever. This is a bit confusing, is there more to it?

Does this have anything to do with it?

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Shindes-statement-on-Hindu-terrorism-based-on-facts-Salman-Khurshid-says/articleshow/18132530.cms

NEW DELHI: External affairs minister Salman Khurshid today backed home minister Sushilkumar Shinde's statement on " Hindu terrorism" saying it was based "entirely on facts" made available by investigative agencies. He, however, said that terror has no religion and colour.



"Let me just say this to you very clearly that our stated position, that is shared fully by the Home Minister and past Home Minister, is based entirely on facts as the investigative agencies have made available to the government," Khurshid told reporters here.

Unfazed by BJP's demand for sacking Shinde for his statement, Khurshid said "The attempt to divert attention and to push it in a particular pre-meditated direction by some people was obviously repudiated by the information that was available with the Home Ministry and that is the context in which all these statements are made".

Shinde had earlier this week stoked a controversy by accusing BJP and RSS of conducting terror training camps and promoting "Hindu terrorism".



Defending Shinde, Khurshid said one should not be looking at finer notions of what should be and can be said at any given time.

"I think core understanding is that there are elements who want to use some cover of pretence and some cover of allegation against other groups to continue on their nefarious and unwholesome activities," he said when asked about Mumbai attacks mastermind Hafiz Saeed and LeT trying to exploit Shinde's statement.

Khurshid underlined that any form of violence that is propagated by extremists of any kind, irrespective of religion is what is dangerous for India.

"Terror does not have religion. We have said this very clearly. And religion should not be associated with colour. This we have said very clearly. It is terror that we have to fight. Terror directed against India that we are fighting".

He said those are the facts available to the Home Ministry on which the government have been consistently making the statement.

"I think we should not be distracted by a phrase here or there frankly. The intention, the commitment, the determination is what clearly matters," he said.

Kashmir Nuclear War Advisory Released By India Police - Global News Desk

Indian-administered Kashmir could become the victim of a nuclear attack, as per the state’s officials, who have warned the inhabitants to construct bomb-proof basements and collect two weeks’ worth of foodstuffs and water. The warning requests the Indian Kashmiris to be ready for a possible India-Pakistan nuclear war. The Kashmir nuclear attack advisory has emerged after days of vicious India-Pakistan border clashes in the divided Kashmir region, which have caused the deaths of three Pakistani soldiers and two Indian troops.

The Kashmir nuclear war notice, printed on Monday by the Indian Kashmir police in the Greater Kashmir newspaper, recommends that the Kashmiris erect immense toilet-equipped basements, which are good enough to shelter a family for weeks. The Kashmir nuclear war advisory also suggests that, in the absence of a basement, dwellers should construct bunkers in their front yards.


The India-Pakistan border in the contested Kashmir region, known as the Line of Control (LoC), has experienced violence between the Indian army and the Pakistan army, with one of the two dead Indian soldiers being reportedly beheaded by the Pakistani military. These gruesome incidents have intensified fears of an India-Pakistan war. Kashmir is the region, which is claimed fully by Pakistan and India, but has been partitioned almost equally since Indian and Pakistani independence from Britain in 1947. The two nations have waged wars to wrest full control of the region in 1947, 1965, 1971 and 1999.

Meanwhile, the Kashmir nuclear attack warning urges the people to stock their dwellings with candles, battery-operated lights, radios and nonperishable food/water. The foodstuffs must be frequently substituted, as per the Kashmir police warning. The Kashmir nuclear war warning requests the population to keep the ‘contaminated’ people out of their shelters.

The Kashmir nuclear attack advisory has perplexed some residents of Srinagar, the capital of Indian-administered Kashmir, with some residents voicing that the Kashmir nuclear attack advisory may fuel fear and paranoia.

Meanwhile, Yoginder Kaul, the Inspector-General at the state’s civil defense and disaster response unit, has expressed that the Kashmir nuclear war notice is an ordinary exercise to increase consciousness among the public about disaster management.

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.

Pakistan is not going to get Kashmir since MISSION KASHMIR IS FAILED.

So there are always chances that Pak may use its nukes on K so that no one gets it.

It would be the end of a country like "Pakistan" and ALL of its nukes would be snatched by Big5+India.

LOL!!!! Why Pakistan will nuke the land which belongs to her???

Does this have anything to do with it?

If I were you I wouldn't read to much into this statement - it was just a political stunt to woo Muslims like you towards congress. You guys form a considerable votebank and the corrupt congress always banks on your community to pull them through.
