| Kashmiris Stock up on Essentials as Mass Arrests of Separatists, 10,000 Additional Troops Create Panic | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, Feb 23: Tension gripped Kashmir on Saturday after the Centre rushed in 100 additional companies of paramilitary forces to the valley on an 'urgent' basis and launched a massive crackdown on separatist leaders. The hearing on Article 35A, which provides special rights and privileges to natives of Jammu and Kashmir, is likely to take place in the apex court on Monday.
Heightened tension was palpable and people were seen in groups on streets even as security was tightened. Orders issued by some government departments added to the fears of the people, who rushed to petrol pumps and started stocking essential supplies. The Government Medical College in Srinagar cancelled winter vacation of its faculty members and directed them to positively report for work on Monday. The Department of Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs, which provides ration to people through its outlets, has directed its staff members in south Srinagar to ensure completing sale of food grains in their respective areas by Saturday evening. They were also directed to keep the ration depots and sale outlets open on Sunday as well. |
