Dont know if you guys have seen this...

Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir witnessed a spate of stone-pelting incidents last summer. Angry protesters even braved the Taser guns and mirchi grenades used by the security forces to control them. Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and his leadership was criticised for his mishandling of those protests in which 112 people died.

So, the state government decided to take some concrete steps and as a result, J&K Police will have its first anti-riot battalion.

A mock drill was carried out at a police training camp at Baramulla. And among those watching the drill was Chief Minister Omar Abdullah.

"Perhaps this is the only force in the country when they are equipped with guns they are facing stones and when they are given a lathi and shields they are facing bullets. We have trained them for both situations," Omar said.

The new force has been trained to ensure minimum use of force. And it is equipped with non-lethal weapons to tackle stone-pelting mobs.

But the real test for the force will be there for everyone to see when it faces the fury of a violent mob on the streets of Srinagar.

The first use should be against Mehbooba Mufti's "peaceful march" where she has put Kashmir in China conveniently. And it should be to ensure "MAXIMUM" use of force. Not Minimum. लातों के भूत बातों से नहीं मानते ।

Finally, we are getting a modern anti riot force of international standards, sad part is this kind of a force is needed in every major city of this country, though currently its most essential for Kashmir, due to the stone throwing menace. 63 years of independence, and we are cheering on starting a modern anti-riot police force in a single state in India. India really is great !!

^^ But just HAVING a modern looking uniform is pointless. The law enforcement should be efficient enough to complement it. Our law enforcement is pretty much a lame duck. Unless police reforms are taken that overhaul the mostly colonial Police Acts, even putting a Spartan Armor on our cops will be pointless!!
