Sources informed  that some locals from Jammu assisted by police visited different hotels and rented accommodations to move Kashmiris to safer place.

“Yes, over 5000 people from different places of Jammu were evacuated and now they are feeling safe at Bhatindi. The Makah Masjid is spacious and every facility is there,” said a local.
He added that Rs 7 lakh were donated by a Bakarwal to Masjid Baitul Maal for these Kashmiri people. “All the people from Kashmir here are safe. Their families back in Kashmir need not to worry,” said a local from Bhatindi.
