SRINAGAR:
Jammu and Kashmir Police
on Saturday invoked
Public Safety Act
(PSA) against 23 'subversive and criminal elements inimical to the security of the nation' in
Srinagar
alone.
'The terror associates of proscribed
terror outfits
were involved in subversive activities and miscreants were involved in public disturbance,' police said. They have been lodged in the district jails of Poonch, Udhampur and Kot Balwal Jammu.
Jammu and Kashmir PSA is a
preventive detention
legislation that allows authorities to detain a person without conviction for up to two years if deemed a threat to public order or
national security
. The law has been retained after the adaptation and extension of central laws to Jammu and Kashmir following the abrogation of Article 370.
'J&K Police have been systematically targeting and dismantling anti-national and anti-social infrastructure in Srinagar through its relentless crackdown,' a police statement said.
