Meanwhile, posters appeared in Srinagar and other areas of occupied Jammu and Kashmir, saying that India’s illegal occupation of Jammu and Kashmir has ruined the daily life of the Kashmiris. The posters, displayed by Jammu and Kashmir Wariseen Shuhada, urged the UN to implement its resolutions for settlement of the Kashmir dispute to save the Kashmiris from the Indian brutalities.
Peoples Democratic Party President, Mehbooba Mufti, talking to reporters in Chadoora area of Budgam, said the harsh tactics employed by the Narendra Modi-led Indian regime in IIOJK cannot change the ground realities of Jammu and Kashmir.
People staged forceful protest demonstrations against the anti-people policies of the occupation authorities. Rural health workers and helpers staged a demonstration in Handwara against the newly-launched policy of depriving the local employees of their jobs on one pretext or another. The protesting workers said that they were being removed from the service without pension benefits. Multiple protests were held in Jammu by the Jammu-based reserved category employees and daily wagers in support of their pending demands.
