Srinagar: In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Indian authorities have virtually fortified the Kashmir valley particularly Srinagar ahead of the visit of Indian Vice President C.P. Radhakrishnan on Thursday.

According to Global Mirror, massive contingents of police and paramilitary forces have been deployed across Srinagar, turning large parts of the city—particularly the vicinity of the University of Kashmir at Hazratbal—into a heavily militarized zonewith multi-layered security grids established along all major routes leading to the university campus.

Indian forces’ personnel are manning key intersections, erecting barricades, conducting intensified vehicle searches, and subjecting commuters to frisking, creating an atmosphere of fear and intimidation.
