Srinagar: With Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi set to visit Srinagar on March 7, people of occupied Jammu and Kashmir voice discontent over his impending arrival, particularly following the revocation of Article 370.
As preparations intensify for Modi’s rally at Bakshi Stadium in Srinagar, authorities impose stringent restrictions, heightening surveillance and control measures across the city. Drones hover overhead, while CCTV cameras keep a vigilant watch, and patrols increase, marking the firm grip of security protocols.
The Kashmir Media Service documents the mounting frustration among the people of Jammu and Kashmir, who perceive Modi’s visit as a painful reminder of the loss of their special status post the August 2019 revocation of Article 370. The locals squarely places blame on Narendra Modi for their ongoing miseries.
Throughout Srinagar, checkpoints emerge, hindering the free movement of residents.
