Web desk: Daily life and business activities are being severely affected. According to local sources, various districts are witnessing house-to-house searches, checkpoints, and restrictions on movement.
Reports indicate that these recent operations are being carried out due to alleged security concerns. Indian authorities maintain that these measures are necessary to prevent militant activities and to maintain law and order. However, local residents and human rights activists argue that repeated search operations and prolonged internet shutdowns cause serious difficulties for ordinary citizens.
Internet Shutdown and Public Hardships
In several areas, mobile internet services have been suspended, affecting educational activities, online businesses, and medical communications. Students and traders have complained that the lack of internet not only impacts livelihoods but also limits access to information in emergencies.
Search Operations and Detentions
Local sources report that during search operations in some areas, arrests and interrogations have also taken place. Although authorities claim these are routine security measures, human rights organisations have raised questions regarding their transparency and scope.
International Response
The Kashmir issue has drawn international attention, with global bodies, including the United Nations, emphasising the protection of human rights in the region. Analysts say that long-term stability requires political dialogue and confidence-building measures.
Overall Situation
Tensions remain high between security measures and public response in occupied Jammu and Kashmir. Observers note that for sustainable peace in the region, it is essential to combine security measures with political solutions and the protection of civil rights so that ordinary citizens can lead normal lives.
