Baramulla March 01, 2026 — In response to the rapidly evolving regional security situation, the Baramulla District Police has issued a high-priority advisory through its Media Cell, urging all journalists, social media users, and digital platforms to maintain the highest standards of responsibility.

The police have mandated that any information regarding law and order or public gatherings must be strictly verified through official and credible channels before being broadcast or shared online.

This directive comes as authorities seek to prevent the spread of speculative content and unverified reports that could trigger unnecessary public panic or disrupt the hard-earned peace in the Valley.
