The Army on Friday asked civilians to avoid wearing "army-pattern" dresses and shopkeepers to refrain from selling combat clothes, as it issued fresh guidelines to the public to prevent terror attacks. The guidelines, to be followed across the country, come nearly a week after six terrorists infiltrated through the border and launched attack at the Air Force station in Pathankot, claiming the lives of seven security personnel. Also private security agencies, police and other central forces have been told not to wear "Combat-Pattern" dresses as "it is not authorised and leads to false alarms", said an official spokesperson. "All traders and shopkeepers interested in selling Army uniforms may approach the local military authority and request for shops in units/cantonments approved areas/shops," the official said.
