Angry demonstrators burnt the effigy of Governor Satya Pal Malik and ransacked deputy commissioner’s office in Kishtwar on Saturday to protest against the failure of authorities to apprehend the terrorists involved in the recent killing of two BJP and an RSS leader.

The protestors raised slogans against the authorities for letting terrorists resurface in the Kishtwar area of the Jammu division.

The three were killed in two separate incidents.

The protestors completely ransacked the offices on the first floor of DC’s office. Men and women took out a large procession and went on a rampage and threw stones at the mini-secretariat at the district headquarters.

Police and paramilitary personnel in strength were rushed to the spot to control the protests and to bring the situation under control.
