Kashmir turmoil widens as authorities shut internet, block movement, and arrest local leaders following India's massive troop build-up and ordering thousands of visitors out of disputed region
Indian paramilitary troopers stand guard at a roadblock at Maisuma locality in summer capital Srinagar on August 4, 2019. Some 40,000 fresh troops were reportedly deployed in addition to 500,000 already in the disputed region.
"As per the order there shall be no movement of public and all educational institutions shall also remain closed," the state government ordered for Srinagar, the capital of India-administered Kashmir, and surrounding areas, in a statement obtained by AFP. Universities, schools, and colleges in southern Hindu-dominated Jammu were ordered to be shut, and one district in that region was placed under lockdown.
How ironic that elected representatives like us who fought for peace are under house arrest. The world watches as people & their voices are being muzzled in J&K. The same Kashmir that chose a secular democratic India is facing oppression of unimaginable magnitude. Wake up IndiaPrivate mobile networks, internet services, and telephone landlines were cut, with only the one government-owned mobile network remained operational.
