SRINAGAR (Dunya News) - Occupied Kashmir remained shut for the 73rd consecutive day, Monday, with authorities imposing curfew and other restrictions in all 10 districts of the valley including Srinagar, Pulwama and Baramulla to prevent anti-India rallies and protests.
All educational institutions, main markets, public transport and other businesses remained suspended.
A police official confirmed that curfew had been imposed in Pulwama and Baramulla districts while it remains enforced in Shopian and several areas of Srinagar. He said the curfew was imposed in view of call by the joint Hurriyet leadership for a march to Baramulla, Pulwama and Srinagar districts as part of the weekly protest programme.
Armed forces’ personnel ransacked dozens of houses and smashed parked vehicles in Kremshore village of Budgam district overnight and arrested many youth. Forces also fired pellets on protesters resulting in injuries to several people. The forces damaged dozens of houses and parked vehicles.
The Indian forces also barged into houses in Dadsar, Noorpur and Arigam areas of Tral in Pulwama district, beat up inmates and ransacked houses. The action triggered protests against the Indian armed forces. The forces’ personnel also damaged many transformers by firing in the area.
At least 56 youth arrested on fake charges of stone pelting during the last 24 hours.
At least 104 civilians have been killed and thousands injured in the protests against Indian rule, sparked by the killing of a popular Hizbul Mujahideen leader on July 8.
