The focus on monitoring social media to curb misinformation is very important. In sensitive areas, fake news can create panic instantly. Hope the celebrations pass off peacefully and people can participate without fear.

While security is crucial, I hope these measures don't lead to excessive restrictions for common citizens in the Valley. There should be a balance between safety and allowing people to celebrate freely. Just a thought.

Impressive to see coordination between JKP, Army, CAPFs, and intelligence. This unified command is key. The mention of securing highways and railway tracks shows they are leaving no stone unturned. Jai Hind!

Traffic plans are a big relief! During such events in Srinagar, movement becomes a nightmare. Glad they are thinking about the public's convenience too and not just VIP movement.
