The authorities in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir have intensified so-called security, especially in Srinagar, ahead of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the territory.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Modi is scheduled to visit Srinagar and address a rally there on March 7.
Ahead of the visit, so-called security measures have been specially tightened around the Bakshi Stadium, Srinagar, the venue of Modi’s rally.
The Indian military authorities have set up huge makeshift bunkers and deployed bullet proof armed vehicles everywhere to monitor the daily life of the Kashmiris.
The forces’ personnel are also continuing their cordon and search operations (CASOs) in all cities, towns and villages of the territory, subjecting the residents to severe harassment.
A police official wishing not to be named said that the Prime Minister will address a rally in Srinagar and all the security measures will be taken to ensure a smooth rally. He said that there will be aerial surveillance of the venue and some parts around the venue will also remain under drone surveillance.
Indian forces’ personnel are conducting regular patrols and checks in Srinagar. The forces’ presence has been significantly bolstered, with additional troops deployed and heightened surveillance measures in place.—KMS
