Security restrictions ahead of Republic Day in Srinagar, India

71st Republic day celebrated in Kashmir’s Sher-e-Kashmir stadium here in Srinagar, Indian controlled Kashmir, on January 26, 2020. Ahead of R-day celebrations authorities impose strict restrictions and barred communication services in the Kashmir valley. Alert sounded in J&K after intelligence inputs suggest possible terror strikes. Check points have been erected at many places across Kashmir and frisking has been intensified. Earlier this month, the J&K Police busted a terror module in Srinagar and arrested five militants. A large quantity of arms and ammunition including gelatin sticks, explosives, detonators and body vests were recovered from the arrested Jaish-e Mohammad militants.
