Security was heightened on Monday in Kashmir ahead of Independence Day. The administration has decided not to impose restrictions on the movement of people, or snap the internet services on the occasion.
Additional security personnel were deployed across the valley, especially around the I-Day function venues.
The main function in the summer capital, Srinagar, is being held at the Bakhshi Stadium for the first time since 1989. Security personnel carried out frisking of vehicles and multiple searches on Monday in the Valley to keep militants at bay.
