2 illegal ponywalas nabbed in Reasi

JAMMU: Police apprehended and booked two people for illegally operating pony services on Shri Mata Vaishno Devi track in Jammu and Kashmir’s Reasi on Thursday during a drive to make religious tourism safe in the wake of Pahalgam terror attack.
“During routine patrolling near Shri Geeta Mata Mandir, police asked a man, providing pony rides in the name of Puran Singh, to produce his licence card. The photo on the card did not match him. His Aadhaar card revealed his identity as Manir Hussain. In another incident near Ban Ganga Bridge, a person identified as Sahil Khan from Jammu district’s Akhnoor was found operating pony service without a licence,” police said.
