Indian troops have continued their clampdown on the valley since August 5, when the Modi government revoked occupied Kashmir's special status.
Residents of occupied Kashmir are facing acute shortage of life-saving medicines, essential commodities including baby food as they remain besieged in what has become the world's biggest prison. All internet, communications services and TV channels are closed in the region.
Over 10,000 political leaders and workers including top Hurriyat leadership are in detention. The jails and police stations are said to have run out of space and many detainees have been lodged in makeshift detention centres and in jails outside the territory.
