While Jammu is generally known for its safety and close-knit communities, recent discussions in neighborhood WhatsApp groups and local online forums highlight a growing concern in the Roop Nagar and Janipur areas. Residents are raising alarms about increasing unchecked activities during late evening hours, calling for immediate administrative attention.
The Issue: Hooliganism and unsafe Streets
The primary complaints center around the road near the Aapshambu Mandir and the interior lanes of Janipur.
- Rash Driving: Residents report groups of bikers performing stunts and speeding through residential areas late at night, posing a risk to pedestrians.
- Lack of Patrolling: A common grievance is the absence of police patrolling vans (PCR) in these specific pockets after 9 PM.
Resident Voices
“I used to go for a walk near the sector 4 park every evening. Now, I stop by 7 PM because the atmosphere changes completely,” shared a resident of Roop Nagar on a local community forum.
