Curfew has been imposed in Kashmir valley on Tuesday and Wednesday as the country's newest Union Territory marks a year since it was formed. The Srinagar district magistrate(collector) in an order said they have got information about "separatists and Pakistan sponsored groups planning to observe August 5 as Black Day". The reason for Black Day to be observed is the "Bhoomi Pujan" of Magnificent Ram Mandir(Temple) being built in Ayodhya on 5th August 2020.
"...Protests are not ruled out. There are specific inputs about violent protests endangering public life and property," the order for Srinagar district said, though the curfew is applicable across Kashmir valley.
People engaged in essential services amid the COVID-19 pandemic are allowed to move, the order said.
