Many steps are being taken from security point of view in Jammu and Kashmir. On one hand, a campaign is being launched against infiltrators and on the other hand, exchange of government documents through WhatsApp and Gmail has been banned. As far as infiltrators are concerned, on one hand the security forces are targeting them on sight and on the other hand the police have launched an intensive campaign against the Rohingya refugees in Jammu because these people are becoming a problem for law and order. In this sequence, some Rohingya refugees have also been detained for violating the Foreigners Act and cases have been registered against landlords for renting property to them without informing the police. “The civil administration has also launched an operation to identify those who facilitated electricity and water connections in the plots housing the Rohingyas,” said Ajay Sharma, Senior Superintendent of Police, South Jammu city. Police have said that action against the landlords was necessary to prevent the influx of Rohingya refugees and ensure public safety.
Senior Superintendent of Police said that as per the orders of the District Magistrate, FIRs have been registered against the landlords for renting out their properties without informing the police. SSP Sharma requested people not to provide shelter or employment to illegal immigrants and if they do, they should inform the police for verification. The local people have also welcomed this police operation.

Let us also tell you that the Jammu and Kashmir government has banned the use of social media platforms like WhatsApp and Gmail for exchanging sensitive government documents, as there is a possibility of theft or leakage of information. An order issued by the General Administration Department said that these platforms are not suitable for handling confidential or sensitive information. The security systems of these platforms do not meet the strict standards required for official communications. “It has come to the notice of the administration that there is an increasing trend among officers and employees to share sensitive, secret and confidential information using WhatsApp, Gmail and other such platforms,” the order said. That this practice poses a serious threat to the security and integrity of information, the order said, “As a result, the use of such tools could lead to serious security breaches that could jeopardize the integrity and security of government operations.” “
