Newly sworn-in Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, Omar Abdullah directed the police to not inconvenience the general public especially during VIP movement. "I have spoken to the DG, Jammu and Kashmir police, that there is to be no 'green corridor' or traffic stoppage when I move anywhere by road.
