J&K DGP orders social media watch to tackle misinformation

Srinagar, Sept. 12 — Jammu and Kashmir Director General of Police (DGP) Nalin Prabhat has directed district police chiefs to keep a strict vigil on social media platforms to prevent the spread of misinformation that could endanger public safety.

Chairing a security review meeting at the Police Control Room in Srinagar on Thursday, Prabhat was briefed by zonal inspector generals and other officers on the prevailing security situation, ongoing anti-terror operations, and recent law-and-order developments, a police spokesperson said.

The DGP asked officers to step up surveillance against anti-national elements, strengthen area domination measures, and ensure fool-proof security around vulnerable locations. He also instructed police units to intensify community policing and public outreach efforts to curb rising crime in some areas.
