Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has announced new measures to ensure that his and his cabinet’s official movements do not disrupt public life. In a recent tweet, Abdullah stated that he directed the J&K Police to stop creating “green corridors” or halting traffic whenever he travels by road. He emphasized minimal use of sirens and discouraged any aggressive behavior from security personnel, such as stick-waving, to avoid intimidating citizens.

Abdullah also urged his cabinet colleagues to adopt similar practices, reinforcing that public servants are meant to serve the people, not inconvenience them. This announcement reflects his broader strategy to promote transparent, accessible, and people-friendly governance.

The timing of this message aligns with the political shifts in Jammu and Kashmir after the recent elections, where Abdullah’s coalition with the Congress secured a significant victory. With the administration looking to regain the public’s trust after years of political uncertainty, Abdullah’s directive sends a message of accountability and civic sensitivity, setting the tone for the new government’s engagement with citizens.
