Activist Venkatesh Nayak of the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative had sought to know from the Home Ministry, under the RTI Act, all the communications received till date from the Jammu and Kashmir government relating to notifications issued under the Section 3 of AFSPA.
Under Section 3, the state government declares the whole or part of the state to be a disturbed area through a Gazette notification allowing the use of armed forces in aid of the civil forces.
The query posed by Nayak to the Home Ministry was sent to the Jammu and Kashmir Division which handles the affairs of the state here.
Responding to the query, the Central Public Information Officer and Director in the division said, "In this regard, it is stated that no such record has been found in this desk relating to communication received from the Government of Jammu and Kashmir in relation to notifications issued by that Government under Section 3 of the Armed Forces (Jammu and Kashmir) Special Powers Act, 1990.
"As such the information may be treated as 'NIL'."
