Jammu, March 04, 2020 (PPI-OT): In occupied Kashmir, Indian police and troops during their continued crackdown operations arrested five more youth in Kishtwar district. The Indian forces’ personnel during door-to-door searches arrested five youth identified as Ghulam Hussain, Muhammad Yaseen, Zakir Hussain, Muhammad Iqbal and Bashir Ahmed in Marwah area of the district.

These military operations have created an atmosphere of fear and harassment severely affecting the daily life of the residents.
