Normal Life Persists as Police Maintain Courtesy in Jammu‑Kashmir

On Friday, life in Jammu, Srinagar and other district headquarters of the Union Territory proceeded without major disturbances. Citizens attended work, education institutions and market areas while police and CRPF troops carried out their duties with a calm and respectful demeanor.

Witnesses reported that officers at checkpoints greeted commuters politely, offered assistance when needed, and refrained from any heavy‑handed tactics. The overall mood among the public was described as “peaceful” and “confident”.

Senior law‑enforcement officers kept a close eye on the ground situation, conducting periodic inspections and interacting with community leaders to ensure that any grievances could be addressed promptly.

The absence of any separatist call for protests or civil disobedience this year has been noted as a positive development, especially given the historical pattern of demonstrations on national holidays such as Republic Day and Independence Day.

Local officials highlighted that the continuation of civic activities, including cultural programmes organized at district headquarters, is a clear sign of societal resilience and a growing sense of national belonging.
