A Sikh body today demanded that Jammu and Kashmir government ensure safety and security of women in the valley irrespective of their community affiliation.
The inaction of the people at helm has raised fingers on police and administration," All Parties Sikh Coordination Committee (APSCC) chairman Jagmohan Raina said in a statement.
It is a matter of concern that exploitation of girls and women in the valley irrespective of the community they belong to has been going on, he alleged.
Raina demanded a thorough probe in the disappearance of a Sikh girl from Srinagar.
"Since (Chief Minister) Mehbooba Mufti is a woman, she must ensure that there is no threat to the lives and honour of the women in the state," Raina said.
He said confidence needs to be instilled among the women so that they live without any fear, whatsoever.
On the 11th of this month a Sikh girl went missing after she did not return home from Government College for Women, Srinagar.
An FIR was lodged in Shergarhi Police station and many officials from police and administration were approached, but till date the girl is yet to be traced.
It is important that the CM orders a thorough probe in the matter so that the girl is found out at the earliest, said Raina.
