Curfew, clampdown in Kashmir ahead of August 5 anniversary

The Hindu  

The Kashmir Valley wore a ghost town look ahead of the first anniversary of the revocation of J&K’s special status, with a strict curfew imposed in Srinagar and other towns in north and south Kashmir. A clampdown was also launched against the PDP leaders, who recently called for observing August 5 as a “Black Day”. Terming August 5 as the “darkest day” in J&K’s history, NC spokesman Imran Dar said, “It was also sold to the rest of the country that the decisions of the BJP government have fared well with the people of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh. If the people are that pleased at the drastic changes undertaken last year then why do we have curfew imposed in Kashmir today?” The J&K administration on Monday said there were inputs about possible protests and violence by Pakistan-sponsored groups.
