In Occupied Kashmir, Indian police and troops continuing their massive crackdown arrested several people during raids in different areas of Pulwama district.
According to media reports, at least 19 more Kashmiris were picked up by the forces’ personnel from Gudoora, Newa and Parigam areas of the district during the fresh raids.
These arrests come just days ahead of the so-called Indian parliamentary elections in Pulwama and Shopian districts of south Kashmir to be held on Monday.
Meanwhile, Indian troops in their unabated acts of state terrorism martyred 13 Kashmiris including a young boy during the last month.
According to Kashmir Media Service, these killings rendered one woman widowed and two children orphaned.
The troops after barging into residential houses molested at least six women and ransacked and damaged 20 houses during the period.
