The protesters were holding banners that read "our only demand relocation/Deputation of all valley posted migrant employees to any other place in India to stop our blood shed".

"We make it clear that without relocation, we will not accept any decision of the government regarding our safety and security," the protesters said.

Chanting slogans they demanded an end to the targeted killings of the members of the Pandit community. The protesters said that their only demand is to relocate them from Kashmir as they don’t feel safe here.

"We are not getting any attention from the government so far that is why we have been protesting for the last ten days. Send us out of Kashmir because we are not here to die, "a female protesters said.

"I do not understand why the government is not awake yet. No concrete decision has yet been taken by the government for our safety," Vinod another protester said.

The Kashmiri pandit community have been protesting for the tenth day now after a migrant employee Rahul Bhat was shot dead inside a government office this month.
