Government bans air-borne activities near defence installation in Udhampur

August 05, 2016 22:09

Authorities in Jammu and Kashmir today banned private air-borne activities within a radius of one km from any defence or security installation in district Udhampur for a period of 60 days to prevent any untoward incident ahead of Independence day.

The order comes in view of the "security threat" following an "alert" by Indian Air Force.

"Restrictions have been imposed on the use of para-gliders, parachutes, air balloons and other air-borne activities within a radius of one km from any Defence or security installation in Udhampur district as a security measure following inputs from Air Force headquarters," District Magistrate Udhampur Niraj Kumar said, adding restrictions have been imposed under section 144 of CrPC.

"In case of any such activity, prior permission of the District Magistrate shall be required," he said.

Kumar directed private agencies, operating such businesses, to disclose their details along with details of equipment to the Additional Deputy Commissioner Udhampur.
