Situation still tense around educational institutes in Dehradun

Dehradun: In the aftermath of the Pulwama terror attack, the Uttarakhand Police is having to tackle rumour mongering and alleged offensive posts on social media, even as the situation remained tense on Sunday in and around the educational institutes where some Kashmiri students are studying. According to police sources, dozens of Kashmiri students have left for their homes since Friday after being allegedly intimidated by mobs following the ghastly attack on a CRPF convoy in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama district on Thursday that killed 49 troopers. A large number of Kashmiri students study in Dehradun.

Since Friday, right wing organisations such as the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), Bajrang Dal and Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) have been holding protest marches here raising anti-Pakistan slogans in the wake of the Pulwama attack. (IANS)
