Valley and have demanded full proof security for former Panchayat members in
the militancy infested areas.

create and atmosphere of fear and panic in the state by selective targeting the
panchayat representatives.

Panchayat members have been killed and others injured since 2011 by the
terrorist organizations but unfortunately neither the state government nor the
union government took any initiative for the security of these brave men who
chose democracy and defied the secessionist and militant forces.
The AJKPC president also demanded
adequate ex-gratia relief for the family of the martyred Sarpanch and also for all
others who were assassinated or injured. He appealed the Director General of
Police to provide on demand security to the Panchayat members at least in the
most vulnerable areas of the state where the footprints of the terrorists still
visible. The AJKPC president along with other senior leaders of the organizations
are expected to visit the family of the deceased sarpanch to express their
sympathises but the organization have not revealed the name of its visiting
leaders and dates due to prevailing situation in the valley and security
reasons.
