Indian security forces have tightened security and are regulating people’s movements in Kashmir after Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan’s speech in New York last week.
A report published in the Reuters said, “Khan, in an address to the United Nations General Assembly on Friday, warned there would be a bloodbath once India lifts its restrictions in Kashmir which have been in force since it revoked the region’s decades-old autonomy in August and detained thousands of people.”
“Soon after the speech, hundreds of Kashmiris came out of their homes, shouting slogans in support of Khan late on Friday night and calling for the independence of Kashmir”, it further informed.
According to reports announcements were made in some parts of the capital Srinagar, informing about the restrictions that will be imposed on movement, while additional troops were deployed to curb protests.
On Saturday the security forces also blocked the entry to the main business centre with wire in Srinagar.
