Srinagar, (Pakistan Point News - 3rd Apr, 2018) : In occupied Kashmir, two youth injured in the firing of Indian troops on protesters on Sunday and Monday succumbed to their injuries, today. According to Kashmir Media Service, these killings have raised the death toll in the ongoing massacre to 19. Meanwhile, complete shutdown continues on the third consecutive day, today, to mourn the killing of people by the Indian forces. Call for the shutdown has been given by the Joint Resistance Leadership (JRL) comprising Syed Ali Gilani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Muhammad Yasin Malik.

The puppet authorities continue to impose restrictions across occupied Kashmir by deploying Indian troops and police personnel in strength to prevent people from staging demonstrations against the killings. The authorities have also put almost all resistance leaders including Syed Ali Gilani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, Muhammad Ashraf Sehrai and Muhammad Yasin Malik under house arrest or in custody to stop them from visiting the families of the martyrs and expressing solidarity with them.

Shutdown is also being observed, today, in Doda, Kishtwar and Banihal areas of Jammu region against the killings in the Kashmir Valley. The occupation authorities also continue to suspend mobile, internet and train services besides ordering closure of schools and colleges in the Kashmir Valley to stop people particularly students from registering their protest against the bloodbath carried out by the troops. The Kashmir University has also postponed all the exams scheduled for today.
