Curfew broke in Kashmir after one year of the union territory - The Jai
New Delhi:
Curfew has been imposed in the Kashmir Valley on Tuesday and Wednesday as it was one year after the country's newest union territory was formed. The District Magistrate of Srinagar said in an order that they had received information about "plans to celebrate August 5 as Black Day about separatists and Pakistan-sponsored groups".
The Srinagar district order said, "Protests are not denied. There are specific inputs about violent protests that endanger public life and property," although curfew remains in force in the Kashmir Valley.
The order states that those engaged in essential services are allowed to move in the midst of the COVID-19 epidemic.
A similar curfew was imposed since early August last year when the Center accorded special status to Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 of the Constitution and divided the state into two Union Territories, the other being Ladakh. Hundreds of political leaders were detained or arrested. Several leaders, including former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti, are still under house arrest.
The latest curfew order also said the measures would strengthen COVID-19 restrictions that are already in control areas. "" The movement and gathering of people has been prohibited, especially to avoid the spread (COVID-19) in view of the recent spike. Thus, any mass mobilization would be detrimental to efforts related to COVID-19 control, "as the district. The magistrate said.
Released on March 11 after nearly eight months in detention, former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah tweeted, "Preparations (for sanctions) will begin a full 24 hours earlier this year than in 2019".
Mr. Abdullah tweeted, "This year's preparations start 24 hours earlier than 2019 with Srinagar, and I think the same is being done across the valley. Abdullah, also a former Chief Minister, March 13 Was freed.
Mehbooba Mufti, under house arrest since August 5 last year, has been booked under the stringent Public Safety Act for another three months. The move came on the day when the People's Conference chief Sajad Lone was released from detention on 31 July, less than a year after he was detained in protest against the central government's move in Jammu and Kashmir. With this three-month extension, the head of the People's Democratic Party will spend more than a year in custody.
