Kishtwar, 03-06-2026 In a decisive action to safeguard public order and communal harmony, the District Magistrate Kishtwar, Sh. Pankaj Kumar Sharma (JKAS), has ordered the preventive detention of Mohd Saleem S/o Nissar Ahmed R/o Bagla Dali, District Doda, under the provisions of the Jammu & Kashmir Public Safety Act, 1978.
The action was taken on the basis of a dossier submitted by the Senior Superintendent of Police, Kishtwar, (Sponsoring Authority) which revealed the subject's repeated involvement in organized illegal transportation and smuggling of bovine animals across District Doda, District Kishtwar and adjoining areas.
Despite previous criminal involvement, the subject continued to indulge in similar activities, demonstrating a habitual tendency and complete disregard for the law.
The District Magistrate, Kishtwar, observed that such activities possess serious communal ramifications and have the potential to disturb public tranquility, communal harmony and the even tempo of life.
It was further found that ordinary criminal law had failed to deter the subject from pursuing his unlawful activities. Being satisfied that the subject's activities were highly prejudicial to the maintenance of public order, the District Magistrate invoked the provisions of the Public Safety Act and ordered his detention. The detenue has been lodged in District Jail, Kishtwar.
The District Administration Kishtwar reiterated its Zero Tolerance Policy against bovine smugglers, anti-social elements and all persons involved in activities prejudicial to public order and warned that stringent action shall continue against such offenders.
