Heavy contingent of police and Para-military troopers were deployed in different areas of Jammu Division including Sangaldan area of Ramban. Amid strict restrictions, people soon before and after Friday prayers came on roads and raised anti-India slogans. However, all the protest marches reported from Jammu Division remained peaceful.
