Indian army and JK Police installed instant checkpoints in the market area in the heartland of Kashmir’s main city Srinagar; closed exits, and lined up all men.
As the frisking went on, the government forces personnel, frisked men, checked their identity cards, opened bags, and asked a few to even remove their pherans, a woolen cloak worn in winters – often associated with Kashmir’s identity.
The frisking by armed forces was done in the Hari Singh High Street area of Lal Chowk. It started suddenly, causing disruption in public movement and traffic. It was shortly concluded and peacefully, an eyewitness said. The scene, though, was reminiscent of the 1990s when frisking of people on the streets was the norm of the day. It was also seen ahead of Republic Day and Independence Day.
Earlier in the day, a bomb disposal squad defused an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) on Pantha-Chowk-Nowgam road stretch at Kenihama area on the outskirts of Srinagar. The road is along the railway line, and the IED was detected on the first day of resumption of train services after 11 months.
