SRINAGAR – The occupied valley of Kashmir remains cut off from the rest ofthe world for the 24th consecutive day, as the occupation authoritiescontinue to impose curfew and other restrictions.

Indian authorities have converted the Kashmir valley particularly Srinagarinto a military garrison by deploying Indian troops and paramilitarypersonnel in every nook and corner to prevent people from stagingdemonstrations against the move.

However, people repeatedly flouting the curfew and other restrictions havebeen staging protests to show their resentment against the Indianoccupation and nefarious move.

Due to severe blockade, the residents are facing acute shortage ofessential commodities including baby food and life-saving medicines and thevalley represents a humanitarian crisis.
