 "People run to a safer place after a tear gas was fired by police to disperse the protesters")
Amid the ongoing unrest in Kashmir, a sikh body on Saturday appealed to the state and the central governments to take adequate security measures for minorities living in the Valley.
"Minority communities living in Kashmir have become easy target. If they don't support the protesting mob, then they are attacked by them. And if they come out with the mob, they became the target of security forces," Rinku Singh, chairperson, Guru Manyo Granth society, an amalgam of various Sikh religious and social organisations said.
He said the business of minorities have been worst affected by the ongoing turmoil and demanded economic and employment packages be provided to them.
"The government should come out with a comprehensive employment and economical packages for the minorities of Kashmir," he said.
