SRINAGAR/ISLAMABAD - The disputed region of Kashmir was thrown into further turmoil in the early hours of Monday as regional leaders said they feared being arrested and Indian officials imposed restrictions in the city of Srinagar and suspended mobile data services in parts of the state.
“There will be a complete bar on holding any kind of public meetings or rallies during the period of operation of this order,” authorities said, adding restrictions would remain in effect until revoked by further orders. A spokesman for India’s federal home ministry in New Delhi did not immediately respond to a request for comment outside regular business hours.
Three local government officials told Reuters that mobile internet services in the region had been suspended.Kashmir has long been a bone of contention between India and Pakistan. Tensions flared after a vehicle laden with explosives rammed into an Indian police convoy on Feb. 14, killing 40 paramilitary police, and leading to aerial clashes between the two nations.
India’s foreign affairs ministry and the White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Khan’s remarks.
