Curfew imposed in Indian-controlled Kashmir ahead of revocation anniversary

India Kashmir Security Campdown

Authorities imposed a curfew in many parts of Indian-controlled Kashmir, a day ahead of the first anniversary of India’s controversial decision to revoke the disputed region’s semi-autonomy.

Shahid Iqbal Choudhary, a civil administrator, said the security lockdown was imposed in the region’s main city of Srinagar in view of information about protests planned by anti-India groups to mark August 5 as Black Day.
