All roads leading to Rangreth area have been blocked by forces on Tuesday. CRPF and local police have been deployed in all lanes and by-lanes.
A resident from the area informed Kashmir Life over phone, “early morning CRPF men were deployed in Rangreth and locals were told not to come out of their houses otherwise they will be fired with bullets.”
“We are stuck inside our homes; it is undeclared curfew here,” the local said.
The CRPF and police men have closed down all shops and no vehicle is being allowed to move towards the industrial area in Rangreth.
The locals also informed that late Monday evening announcements were made from local Masjid loudspeakers asking all males to come out on roads and females to stay indoors. “Then forces come and fired teargas shells evoking protests.”
Another eyewitness said, “CRPF men come every day and ransack the residential houses. They claim some of their arms are missing and they blame locals for it. It just gives them reason to enter our houses and then they break down everything that comes in their way.”
