J&K CM asks police to take poster threatening Kashmir Pandit employees seriously

In Srinagar, the United Liberation Council (ULC) a lesser-known group, issued a new poster threatening Kashmiri Pandits, prompting community members in the Kashmir Valley who are part of the PM Package for Kashmiri Migrants and Non-Migrant Kashmiri Pandits to write to J&K chief secretary Atal Dulloo for increased security. Chief Minister Omar Abdullah described the threats as "highly concerning".

Omar urged police and law-enforcement bodies not to underestimate the warnings and emphasized their duty to protect Kashmiri Pandit employees. He reminded them of a similar incident two and a half years ago, where Pandit employees were targeted.

The All PM Package Employees' Forum wrote to Dulloo about a fresh poster, purportedly from the ULC, on August 23, 2026, circulated on social media threatening migrant Kashmiri Pandit employees and providing details such as names, addresses, and vehicle numbers. While the forum stated the poster's authenticity awaits verification from police and security agencies, they expressed grave concern over the repeated circulation of such threats, especially when they contain sensitive personal information.

They suggested reviewing security arrangements at PM Package employees' work locations, residential accommodations, and transit routes. All Minority Employees Association president Sanjay Kaul highlighted that the August 23 poster was the third in twenty days and called for a thorough investigation.
