“People are out on roads,” a local said quickly as was asked (somebody in background) to remain alert, “it was around 12:30 AM that several (forces) vehicles entered Raipora, Tantray pora Mohallas.”
The locals said that as people sensed raids by the forces, “someone made an announcement from Masjid loud speaker asking people to come out on roads”.
“We had almost slept,” one caller from the area said, “that the deafening sounds in the dead of night woke up us again.”

“People from almost every Mohalla is out on roads this time as rally of people have moved towards main chowk,” locals said, “Azaadi taranay are being played across the town.”
