Kashmir: curfew returns one year after the repeal of autonomy

(ANSA) - NEW DELHI, AUG 04 - In view of the first anniversary of the cancellation of autonomy, the government has imposed a total curfew in Kashmir for today and tomorrow, citing intelligence information that foresees a "BlackDay", a day of terror, with the risk of terrorist attacks. A year ago, on August 5, 2019, the central government canceled the autonomy of Jammu and Kashmir, the Himalayan state disputed between India and Pakistan, repealing the clause of the Indian Constitution which guaranteed the special status of Kashmir and transformed the former state into two Territorial Units , administrative realities whose sovereignty is subject to central government authority.
    Since then, the people of Kashmir have seen themselves impose one of the longest curfews in history, which lasted over six months, with the isolation from the rest of the country and the world, the cut of all telephone and mobile communications, the suspension of the Internet, while thousands of people were jailed, including hundreds of politicians, some of whom are still under house arrest.
