On ground reports had revealed the darkest sides of curbs in Kashmir!

With most of Indian medias reporting live from Kashmir in the series of deadlocks where it had pictured the region by portraying that the state of Kashmir stays with peace with no violence reported ahead of abrogating the special status as the state had brought under tight security and surveillance, there have been darkest pictures that the medias hadn't reported to the rest of the nation where an undercover on ground operations which had carried out by journalists and activists had furiously demeaned the claims of the government and had accused the state authorities and security forces for committing human rights violations through arbitrary and inequitable arrests of the local residents including youths.

Over the period of isolating the state by suspending the communication platforms and by imposing curfew and restrictions which had neared fortnight of living in nightmares, the state government authorities and security forces had managed to screen the truth by refusing to report to the journalists and to the nation on the exact count of the people arrested in the state of Jammu and Kashmir where the reports say that state political leaders, journalists, lawyers, civil rights activists and residents were among to have been detained and some of them have sent to the facilities in the nearby states by the security forces and some have been kept under house arrests, which Indian authorities had failed to place the estimate numbers of total arrests that have been made in what it can be seen as arbitrary confinements.

While at the press briefing on Monday, August 12, 2019, Swayam Prakash Pani, Inspector general of police in Kashmir have outspoken the failure of holding accountable for the arrests made where he said that he doesn't have centralized number of who is being arrested and where those detainees have been taken and on the other hand, the additional director general of the state police, had, on the eve of Independence day, played different tone of acknowledging that there have been detentions under Public safety act which the police can't deny as those arrests had been made under the grounds of preventive measures where some people have been taken beyond the state borders.

The row of unjustifiable arrests have seen turning its pages of targeting most of the politicians in Kashmir where Indian forces had arrested former IAS officer turned politician of Kashmir Shah Faesal without cause in Delhi airport and had taken to an undisclosed location to screen the eyes of medias and oppositions. He was the latest politician to join in the list of political arrests, where three former chief ministers of state Farooq Abdullah, Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti had been detained in the early hours of August 5th and the reports say that they still have been kept under house arrest.

The state had kept out of reporting on grounds reports ahead of banning and suspending the communication platforms and internet cables which had seen as a huge barrier among activists and journalists to estimate the numbers of people who had faced unjust detention. However, the reliable sources had told that more than 1500 people of various backgrounds had been arrested with having no knowledge on their whereabouts.

While barricading the eyes of the nation on the arbitrary arrests, the government had proclaimed that no violence had been reported in Kashmir valley in the wake of Eid celebrations where the government had said that the local residents despite of having restrictions in place, had offered their prayers peacefully where more than 10,000 Muslims have reported in Baramulla mosque who had concluded the prayers peacefully.

On one hand, the day light in the state of Kashmir had seen the presence, surveillance of thousands of central armed and paramilitary forces where on the other hand, local residents had reported that the army had carried out widespread night raids since August 4th where four youths in Srinagar had reportedly been detained by the armed forces. Bashir Ahmad, a resident of Imam Sahab village in Shopian had said that the parents of those detained youths had stormed to the camps every morning for any possible information about their children and he further expressed fear that the youths from his family would be arrested by the army during their night raids.
