To stop a Muharram procession from leaving the city’s Lal Chowk on Sunday. The J&K administration placed stringent restrictions and turned off mobile internet in several areas of Srinagar. Rules, according to officials, were put in place to preserve law and order.
To obstruct any movement of people or vehicles, especially in and near Residency Road and Maulana Azad Road in Srinagar. The government had stationed hundreds of police and paramilitary forces on all city’s major highways. Iron barriers and concertina wire had also been sprayed. In places with constraints, cell networks were unreliable, and the mobile internet frequently went out.
A few mourners tried to circumvent the limits and organise small processions. Still, the police officials sprang into action, confined them in ambulatory trucks, and took them to the closest police posts. Throughout the day, these occasional protests and detentions were seen in the Lal Chowk and Batamaloo neighbourhoods. “Taking out a parade is a component of our faith and religious practice; why are authorities prohibiting it? This has just refuted their assertions of democracy and religious equality,” stated Abid Hussian, a sorrower from Srinagar.
