Srinagar’s ‘disturbed area’ tag may go New Delhi, November 20 Sources said the Army had termed it as a “move fraught with danger”. It also saw it as a hindrance in protecting key posts along the Line of Control with Pakistan and also those in Ladakh facing China. Army’s main supply lines to Kargil and Ladakh passed through Srinagar. The route was much more reliable than the Manali-Leh route that was prone to landslides and remained snow-bound for much longer time every year. The Army even cited the example of Manipur where the Disturbed Areas Act was not applicable to the capital city, Imphal. It had not helped in anyway, it said.
