Authorities in Jammu and Kashmir's Anantnag district have banned trekking, hiking, and camping in high-altitude forest areas of Kokernag, including Margan Top, Chauhar Nag, and Sinthan Top, for two months. The order, issued by Sub-Divisional Magistrate Prince Kumar, cites security concerns and recent incidents of individuals attempting to cross checkpoints at night. The ban aims to prevent unrestricted movement that could adversely affect public safety and security, with strict implementation by local police and legal action for violations.
