The Supreme Court Tuesday directed the Jammu and Kashmir’s chief secretary to file an affidavit stating steps taken by it on all aspects related to the communal violence in Kishtwar.<\/p>\n

Chief Justice P. Sathasivam, Justice Ranjana Prakash Desai and Justice Ranjan Gogoi said the affidavit should cover all aspects of the situation.<\/p>\n

The state government’s counsel told the court that the government had already announced a commission of inquiry into the Kishtwar clashes which began on Eid-ul-Fitr day Friday and quickly spread to other regions.<\/p>\n

The commission of inquiry will be headed by a retired judge of the Jammu and Kashmir High Court.<\/p>\n

The apex court direction came on an application by Sudesh Singh, political secretary of the Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party.<\/p>\n

The government counsel said the state government announced a compensation of Rs.5 lakh each to those killed in the Kishtwar violence.<\/p>\n

“We hope and trust the elected government is aware of the situation and will take necessary steps” to maintain communal harmony and law and order, Chief Justice Sathasivam said.<\/p>\n

Senior counsel Bhim Singh of the Panthers Party sought certain directions to the state government.<\/div>\n
\n

“This is a very serious matter. The state government is taking urgent action. At this stage we can’t say the state government is keeping mum,” Sathasivam said.<\/p>\n

“We can’t control the administration. They must be allowed to have a free hand,” the judge added.<\/p>\n

The application said hundreds of Hindu pilgrims have been stranded due to curfew in Kishtwar district.<\/p>\n
