Srinagar
In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, a violent cordon and search operation has been launched by Indian troops in Badgam district.
The operation was jointly launched by a team of Indian army, police and Central Reserve Police Force in Kawoosa, today afternoon.
Indian officials told media in Srinagar that a gunfight had also broken out between mujahideen and Indian troops in the area.
In occupied Kashmir, as the world is collectively facing deadly coronavirus, India continues to kill, harass and intimidate the Kashmiris in the name of cordon and search operations, making the lives of the people a hell in the length and breadth of the territory.
According to a report released by the Research Section of Kashmir Media Service, today, Indian troops killed 12 Kashmiris, arrested 64 and destroyed or damaged as many 778 houses and shops during 287 cordon and search operations in the Kashmir valley and Jammu region over the past 18 days of May 2020. The troops looted dozens of houses in Badgam district alone.
The cordon operations were mostly conducted in Srinagar, Kupwara, Baramulla, Bandipore, Gandarbal, Budgam, Islamabad, Pulwama, Shopian, Kulgam, Ramban, Kishtwar, Doda, Rajouri, Poonch, Samba, Kathua and other Muslim areas of the Jammu region. Even when this report is being compiled, today, CASOs are underway in various parts of the territory including the summer capital, Srinagar.
The report maintained that Jammu and Kashmir had been converted into world’s largest prison by India where people were not safe even in their houses. —KMS
