Asking security forces to exercise "highest degree of restraint" while dealing with public protests, Abdullah directed that police be accompanied by magistrates in dealing with law and order situation.
The direction came at the Unified Command meeting convened by him at its headquarters on Wednesday afternoon to review the situation arising out of public protests in Baramulla, where firing by security forces left four persons dead, Shopian and Dooru.
"Abdullah gave directions for working out the first phase substitution of CRPF by Jammu and Kashmir Police in law and order duty within 10 days," an official spokesman told PTI after the meeting.
"No law and order situation or protests should be dealt without the presence of magistrate," the chief minister was quoted as saying.
The CM also called for formulation of Citizens' Advisory committees in every district. This, he said, would help to develop a constant rapport between citizens and the administration and avoid misunderstandings that usually occur on sensitive issues relating to maintenance of law and order.
The unified headquarters meeting was attended by General Officer Commanding of 15th Corps Lt Gen Bikram Singh, Chief Secretary S S Kapur, Director General of Police Kuldeep Khoda and top officials of Crime Investigation Department, Border Security Force, CRPF and Intelligence Bureau.
