Baramulla town in north IHK is the first town in the disputed region where local police will look after law and order. “It has been decided to replace paramilitary deployments in Baramulla with Jammu and Kashmir Armed Police immediately,” a government statement said. “The step has been taken to prevent further deaths,” AFP quoted a senior police officer. reuters/afp
