In occupied Kashmir remains cut off from the rest of the world for the 24th consecutive day, today, as the occupation authorities continue to impose strict curfew.

The valley is under strict lockdown since 5th August when Narendra Modi-led Indian government revoked Article 370 of the Indian Constitution that granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir.

Authorities have converted the Kashmir valley particularly Srinagar into a military garrison by deploying thousands of Indian troops and paramilitary personnel to prevent people from staging demonstrations against the move.

However, people repeatedly flouting the curfew and other restrictions have been staging protests to show their resentment against the Indian occupation and nefarious move.

Due to severe blockade, the residents are facing acute shortage of essential commodities including baby food and life-saving medicines and the valley represents a humanitarian crisis.

Moreover, the resistance leadership and other local leader have also been arrested.
