This kind of protests will not only be restricted to Jammu but will spread to other parts of J&K also,” he said.Five cops sacked for narco-terror linksThe Lt Governor administration in Jammu and Kashmir on Saturday dismissed six employees, including, five policemen for their alleged involvement in narco-terror activities by invoking Article 311 of the Constitution of India.
