SRINAGAR (92 News) – In their fresh act of state terrorism, Indian troops martyred two Kashmiri youth in Srinagar on Wednesday as atmosphere of fear, uncertainty curfew entered into 185th consecutive day in Indian Occupied Kashmir (IoK). The troops martyred the youth during a cordon operation in Lawaypora-Shalteng area of Srinagar. Earlier, one Indian soldier was killed and another was injured in an attack in the same area. Soon after the incident, Indian police and troops cordoned off the area and launched searches. Further details are awaited.

Restrictions further intensified in IoK

Indian authorities have further intensified restrictions in IoK in the name of security during a visit by a group of Indian ministers to the territory. People are forced to stay indoors and vehicular movement is largely restricted during the ongoing military lockdown and internet blackout on the 169th consecutive day. The so-called announcement of the authorities regarding restoration of Internet service and setting up of broadband kiosks has proven to be hoax as India Today while citing the IOK administration confirmed that the internet continues to remain suspended in, at least, eight districts of the Kashmir valley alone.
