Continued cordon and search operations (CASOs) are underway in both urban and rural areas, turning the entire occupied territory into a military garrison.<\/p>\n<p>Witnesses said travellers at Jammu Railway Station are being subjected to humiliating, round-the-clock checks. Teams equipped with scanning devices and canine units are forcing passengers\u2014including elderly people, women, and students\u2014to undergo repeated frisking and identity verifications. Similar scenes are reported from Kathua, Samba, Udhampur, and other parts of the Jammu region.<\/p>\n<p>In the Kashmir Valley, the situation is worse. From North to South Kashmir, Indian police and Central Reserve Police Force have erected new checkpoints, stopped vehicles for prolonged searches, and carried out door-to-door raids under the pretext of heightened alertness. Residents say the atmosphere of siege has further choked movement, disrupted daily life, and heightened fear among civilians.<\/p>\n<p>Human rights observers note that the Indian forces are using the Red Fort blast as a pretext to justify an \u201cextraordinary crackdown\u201d in the UN-recognized disputed territory. They point out that such measures\u2014arbitrary searches, harassment at checkpoints, and surveillance\u2014punish the entire civilian population and violate international humanitarian standards.<\/p>\n<p>Kashmiris fear that the so-called operations are part of the larger pattern of collective punishment and militarized control that has intensified since the August 2019 revocation of Articles 370 and 35A. Residents say the occupation authorities have made their daily lives a hell through constant surveillance, raids, and intimidation, even though the incident took place far away in New Delhi.<\/p>\n<p>Reports indicate that Indian forces and their agencies, during house raids in -occupied Jammu and Kashmir, have begun targeting Kashmiri women known for their support of the Kashmir cause. The operations included searches of homes belonging to supporters of Dukhtaran-e-Millat (DeM) and followers of jailed senior Hurriyat leader Syeda Asiya Andrabi. Human rights organizations and civil society members in IIOJK have expressed concern over abuses during these raids, citing cases of intimidation and harassment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Srinagar: Life for the common people in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir has been pushed into deeper misery as Indian forces have launched massive raids, checkpoints, and blanket restrictions across the territory in the name of security following the November 10 Red Fort blast in New Delhi\u2014an incident that occurred hundreds of miles away. &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":188217,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[5],"class_list":["post-188216","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-indian-occupied-jammu-and-kashmir","tag-top-story"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/assests\/2025\/11\/creacdown.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/188216","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=188216"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/188216\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":188248,"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/188216\/revisions\/188248"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/188217"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=188216"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=188216"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=188216"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
