Indian troops crack down on major newspaper offices in Srinagar

SRINAGAR: In another move Indian police raided the offices of major newspapers in Srinagar on Saturday.

The police seized tens of thousands of copies and shut down a major printing press in an unprecedented crackdown on print media following widespread anti-India demonstrations in the territory.

The newspaper gag is part of a broader clamp down as the occupation authorities fear intensity in anti-India demonstrations.

Mobile internet services have been snapped while cable networks have been asked to stop operations in the Valley.
