Forces were deployed in strength to prevent anti-India protest rallies.
SRINAGAR (Web Desk) - In occupied Kashmir, normal life remained crippled due to shutdown marked by restrictions on 103rd consecutive day, Wednesday, to prevent anti-India protest march in all district headquarters of the Kashmir Valley.
Forces were deployed in strength to prevent anti-India protest rallies in Kupwara, Baramulla, Bandipora, Budgam, Ganderbal, Srinagar, Pulwama, Shopian, Kulgam and Islamabad districts. Call for the march was given by the joint resistance leadership. Main markets, public transport and other businesses remain closed in the valley today.
The unprecedented 103-day-long closure of educational institutions has hit hard the students who have not been able to attend classes in schools, colleges and universities in the past more than three months. Students have been protesting against holding of exams in November and want them to be postponed till March next year.
All roads leading to the district headquarters were closed by the forces to prevent the pro-freedom march. All the entry points were sealed with army manning the barricades.
However; women in large number held anti-India and pro-freedom protest rallies in different parts of Kashmir Valley.
The major rallies were held in Sopore’s Duroo village in north of Kashmir, Harwan in Srinagar. In south Kashmir, the women pro-freedom rallies were held in Yamrash Kulgam, Chadarban Islamabad, Zadoora Pulwama. These rallies were organised on the call of joint resistance leadership. The leadership in its current calendar had asked the womenfolk of Kashmir to hold pro freedom rallies across Kashmir on Tuesday.
Reports from Duroo said that women of the area came out on roads and marched raising pro-freedom and anti-India slogans. The rally concluded peacefully.
In south Kashmir’s Yamrash village of Kulgam district, hundreds of women led by Dukhtaran-e-Millat leaders attended the rally.
The DeM leaders sought immediate release of political prisoners and hundreds of youths. The pro-freedom leaders castigated the authorities for ransacking of homes and damages to other public property.
Kashmir’s current uprising has crossed the hundred days of continuous shutdown and curfew marked by brief periods of relaxations mostly after sundown.
