SRINAGAR, INDIA - A curfew has been imposed across Indian Kashmir just two days before the first anniversary of New Delhi's abolition of the restive region's semi-autonomy, officials said late Monday , citing intelligence reports of looming protests.
"Full curfew will be enforced in all Kashmir districts," a senior police officer, who asked to remain anonymous, told AFP. The Himalayan region is already subject to restrictions to reduce the spread of the novel coronavirus amid a jump in infections, with most economic activities limited and public movement curtailed.Police vehicles fitted with megaphones patrolled Srinagar after dark, with officers ordering residents to remain indoors for the next two days.
The curfew is similar to the one introduced just before Kashmir's semi-autonomy was stripped on August 5.
