Blast in Doda, J&K, triggers panic amid rising tensions.

A suspected low-intensity blast occurred on September 10, 2025, in the Dumri-Thukar Mohalla area near Jamai Masjid in Jammu and Kashmir’s Doda district, causing panic among residents. Police and forensic teams swiftly reached the site, confirming no injuries from the explosion. The police detained two individuals for questioning as the investigation continues. This incident unfolded amid heightened tension in Doda following the arrest of Aam Aadmi Party MLA Mehraj Malik under the stringent Public Safety Act, an action that has sparked violent protests and over 80 detentions in the area. The unrest began after Malik’s detention on grounds of disrupting public order, with clashes between protesters and security forces intensifying the volatile atmosphere. Authorities have imposed prohibitory orders and maintained strong security presence, including restrictions on public gatherings and suspension of internet services, to control the situation. The police’s quick response to the blast and ongoing crackdown on unrest reflect the administration’s determination to restore peace in the troubled region. This episode highlights the fragile security environment in Jammu and Kashmir, where political tensions remain high.
