Sting Newz Service: Amid confusion over the presence of massive security forces in Jammu and Kashmir, Section 144 CrPc was imposed in Srinagar late Sunday night. Mainstream party leaders – NC leaders Omar and Farooq Abdullah, and PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti, among others – were placed under house arrest and mobile, broadband internet and cable TV services were entirely shut down.
The government order also said no public meetings or rallies would be allowed and there would be “no movement of public and all educational institutions shall also remain closed”. Identity cards of service officials would be considered as movement passes in various areas.
