Srinagar, May 11, 2023 (PPI-OT):In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Indian troops continue their violent cordon and search operations in different districts of the territory, subjecting the residents to severe harassment. Indian troops and paramilitary personnel continue their so-called operation on the 7th consecutive day, today, in different areas including Kesari in Rajouri district. The operation was launched on Friday morning after the killing of five Indian forces’ personnel in a blast at Kesari. Later, the troops in a vindictive action martyred an innocent youth in a fake encounter in the same area.
Indian army and paramilitary personnel continue their siege and search operations on the second consecutive day, today, in Khakha Nawan, Purani Poonch, Jernally Mohalla and Poonch town in Poonch district. The search operation also continued on the 22nd consecutive day, today, in several areas of the district. Meanwhile, Indian troops have been put on alert with the strengthening of checkpoints around the security installations in Akhnoor, Samba, Kathua and other places of the Jammu region. Officials said Indian paramilitary forces have been deployed in strength across the occupied territory to check vehicles at every checkpoint and all roads leading to the Jammu city are being manned by a large number of forces’ personnel. They said the night patrolling has also been increased.
On the other hand, Indian troops, paramilitary and police personnel have disturbed the daily routine of the people of the territory in the name of security measures ahead of the G-20 meeting to be hosted by the Indian government in Srinagar later this month. House raids are going on in every city and town of the Kashmir Valley, causing immense inconvenience to the local residents.
Officials of Indian army, police and various secret agencies in a joint meeting stressed on the searches and nakas on the Srinagar-Jammu Highway and directed the personnel to ensure that these nakas are functional round the clock. They also emphasised upon the forces; personnel to make adequate use of modern gadgets including CCTVs and drones to keep a watch on the movement of people.
