In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Indian forces in their unabated acts of state terrorism martyred seventeen Kashmiris during the last month.

According to Kashmir Media Service, of those martyred, 14 Kashmiris were killed extra-judicially and in fake encounters.

Around two hundred civilians and political activists were arrested, most of them,  under black laws, Public Safety Act  and Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act in one hundred and fifty-one cordon and search operations and house raids during the month.

Meanwhile, All Parties Hurriyat Conference has expressed grave concern over these operations, arrests, and extra-judicial killings of Kashmiris.

APHC spokesman Advocate Abdul Rashid Minhas in a statement issued in Srinagar demanded an early resolution of the Kashmir dispute.

On the other hand, India deployed four hundred paramilitary Central Armed Police Force companies in north Kashmir alone during the final phase of sham Assembly elections today.

This massive deployment adds to the existing Army and Border Security Force personnel in the territory, further solidifying India's iron-fisted control.

Multiple checkpoints were set up along the Srinagar-Jammu highway, and intensified frisking was conducted on all roads, restricting the movement of Kashmiris.
