Srinagar Sets Up Control Room Amidst Tensions

A central control room has been established in Srinagar to monitor developments after India's missile strikes on terror sites in Pakistan and PoK. The room, supervised by the District Disaster Management Authority, will coordinate emergency services, address public concerns, and ensure timely information dissemination.

In response to recent geopolitical tensions, authorities in Srinagar have established a central control room to monitor developments following India's missile strikes targeting nine terror infrastructure sites across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).

A statement from the local district magistrate noted that a Joint Control Room is now operational at the District Emergency Operation Centre (DEOC), helmed by the District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA). This facility is designed to operate round-the-clock, serving as a centralized hub for interdepartmental coordination.

The control room's duties include real-time monitoring of ongoing situations, ensuring timely information dissemination, and acting as a grievance redressal platform for the general public. Concurrently, the Jammu and Kashmir government has directed administrative sectors to limit employee leave to only exceptional circumstances.
