In a separate order, the J&K administration also ordered the school buildings to be vacated in order to use them as accommodation for security forces in the Ganderbal district which has added to the the panic and anxiety of people in wake of the recent border tensions with China.

The order was described as a “most urgent matter” , and was passed by the Director of the Food, Civil Supplies and Consumers.

It has also asked oil companies in the valley to arrange enough stocks of LPG that can last to up to two months at bottling plans as well as godowns.

In an addition to this, fhe government has also announced the closure of Srinagar-Jammu National Highway due to "frequent landslides" as the reason for its contingency plan for stocking up LPG cylinders.
