According to Kashmir Media Service, police officials said that during extensive searches at multiple locations across the district, no such books were found at any of the premises visited. \u201cBookshop owners were sensitised about the directive and cautioned to ensure that such prohibited material is neither stocked nor sold in any form,\u201d they added.<\/p>\n

The Jammu and Kashmir administration had last week banned the publication of 25 books for allegedly \u201cpromoting false narratives and glorifying terrorism.\u201d<\/p>\n

Officials said the searches are being conducted to ensure that no banned material remains in circulation or reaches the public domain. The authorities last week announced the forfeiture of 25 books by authors including Arundhati Roy, Piotr Balcerowicz, Hafsa Kanjwal, Christopher Snedden, Mohammad Yosuf Saraf and Essar Batool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
