Special squad
This refers to misbehavior by some soldiers with tourists at Pahalgam. Such things can dent the image of Kashmir as a hospitable tourist destination. Authorities have rightly against the erring personnel. We must not tolerate such actions which harm the image of the Valley. Kashmiris are peace loving people and have always been hospitable to the tourists. There must be special squad of police meant to ensure safety and comfort of tourists visiting the Valley.
