SRINAGAR: A curfew was imposed in parts of Indian Occupied Kashmir after over 1,000 Hurriyat activists were arrested as Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in the valley on Saturday.
According to reports, the occupied valley appeared to have been turned into a military garrison for Modi's visit, with military and security personnel posted at every few steps.
Engineer Rasheed, a member of the Occupied Kashmir assembly, was also among those arrested for waving a black flag in protest. Nearly 300 activists have been arrested to prevent them from mobilizing, a police officer said.
In the main city of Srinagar, shops and schools remained shut, university exams were cancelled for the day and public transport was suspended as hundreds of police and paramilitary forces patrolled the streets.
