Height of incompetence that Guv admin requires civilian traffic restriction on highway:Omar
National Conference vice-president Omar Abdullah Sunday said it was the "height of incompetence and laziness" that the Governor S P Malik-led administration required restriction on movement of civilian vehicles on the Srinagar-Jammu National Highway for the security of Amarnath pilgrims.
Abdullah, the former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir, said the governor's administration was the only administration in 30 years that has required the closure of the highway.
"It's not that we are unconcerned about yatri security, far from it. It's that the administration of Governor Malik is the only administration in 30 years that has required the closure of the highway/railway line to protect yatris & that's the height of incompetence & laziness," he tweeted.
He was responding to Malik's remarks that the people of Kashmir should bear such restrictions as it was a matter of security of pilgrims.
