Valley under siege to thwart Lal Chowk march
With very strict curfew, heavy deployment of security forces, and arrest of separatist leadership, the Kashmir Coordination Committee (KCC) march to Lal Chowk was thwarted by the government today. It was government sponsored fear which ruled the entire Valley.
However, curfew was defied in some places including Maisuma, Nowhatta, Baramulla, Pulwama and Rafiabad and protests held.
Not only Lal Chowk but the whole Valley was put under siege with roads, bridges and even lanes at some places sealed with barbed wires, iron barriers and armoured vehicles.
Lakhs of people in Kashmir were made hostage in their respective homes. Curfew was being enforced so strictly that security men were not honouring the curfew passes issued by the government. A number of people, despite having valid curfew passes, were forced to return to their homes.
