Jammu: The Jammu and Kashmir government on Saturday said all necessary measures were being taken to maintain security of vital installations and that it was fully equipped to handle any situation emerging from Pakistan’s drone and missile attacks. There is no cause for alarm, said government sources.

“The general public is requested to stay calm and not panic. Please follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) issued by NDMA and the government,” said an official statement.

It said misinformation and unverified claims circulating on social media can cause unnecessary panic.

The residents are strongly advised to avoid engaging with or spreading rumours, adding, “trust only credible news channels and government communications for accurate information.”

The government is fully prepared to deal with any kind of exigency and is continuously monitoring the situation, said the statement, adding that health department has fully activated its emergency protocols and is fully prepared to handle any exigency.

The cooperation of the public in maintaining peace and discipline during these times is crucial, it added.

A government spokesman said that public in general and media persons in particular are requested to be responsible in sharing information and follow the guidelines issued by government.

Updates will be shared through official government channels only. The government reaffirms its commitment to the safety and security of every citizen and stands united with its people in these testing times, he said.

“Stay vigilant, stay informed, and let’s work together to uphold security and stability of our great nation,” the spokesman added.
