Security has been tightened in Kashmir ahead of the Republic Day on January 23. The authorities have decided not to impose any restrictions on the movement of people or internet services “in the wake of waning street protests in the Valley”.
“The security arrangements are already in place. We have a situation where there is no need for any curbs. I would request people to come forward and join the Republic Day celebrations,” Vijay Kumar Bidhuri, Divisional Commissioner, Kashmir, said.
He said the current stability in the situation in J&K was due to the measures taken by the Lieutenant-Governor-led administration and cooperation by the public.
