India is all set to celebrate and rise its flag for 73rd Independence day while the state of Jammu and Kashmir, which India had claimed to be a part of its territory, is yet to be relaxed with the restrictions that has been imposed by Indian government on August 4th, 2019.

The state of Jammu and Kashmir and its residents had been brought under the drones of surveillance, where the region had seen stationing thousands of Central armed forces since last week of July, who had barricaded the streets and roads of the state with the move of enhancing the security grid as precautionary measures to counter the security threat which would mount ahead of scrapping the seven decades long special status from the state of Jammu and Kashmir.

The Central government, on August 4th, had issued directives to the state authorities in imposing severe restrictions to the local residents where the mobile networks and internet services had been suspended across the state along with imposing section 144 curfew in the regions that was under close monitoring by the security forces. In early hours of 5th August, the news had headlined that the state authorities had detained and house arrested the leaders of state political parties to map the state with its hard line security grid in ensuring the peace and easing the unrest if the region host the violence and infiltration.

The heatwave and the tensions were kept alive in the state ahead of passing the bill in Indian parliament which had scrapped off the special status from the state of Jammu and Kashmir by mapping it with Indian constitution. The state wasn't aware on the motion adopted by the Indian government as it was kept under shut down. Days after, in the view of Eid celebrations, the state authorities have lowered the restrictions in the Kashmir valley to let the local residents to offer Eid prayers, which the government had claimed that the prayers has been offered peacefully but however, relaxation on the restrictions, had hosted small scale protests across Srinagar where it had seen the presence of more than thousands of people who had demonstrated their oppose against the move of Indian government.

Adding to the series of restrictions and hard line security strip, is the recent arrest of Shah Faesal, a well known bureaucrat and politician who belongs to Indian administered Kashmir,  who has been arrested in Delhi airport and swiftly sent back to the region.

The reports say that Shah was one of the handful of politicians who stayed out from the detaining circle which was drawn by Indian government to detain the state political leaders ahead of revoking the special status.

While speaking to the media on Tuesday, Shah Faesal had accused Prime minister Narendra Modi for murdering the constitution of Jammu and Kashmir by bringing the semi autonomic status in the state to an end. The reports added that he had been arrested in Delhi international airport while he was about to board a flight to Turkey and the reports further stated that his whereabouts remains unclear but some local media had sounded like he might be placed under house arrest.

Shah Faesal had scripted his name in history after becoming first Kashmir citizen after he topped India's civil services examinations in the year to 2009 where he resigned from his post in January and had launched his new political party- the Jammu and Kashmir people's movement.

Having been arrested, Shah Faesal had joined the lines of hundreds of people who have already been detained by the government in the region including politicians activists, journalists, business leaders.

On one hand, the rest of the nation is getting prepared to flag its 73rd Independence day while on the other hand, the people in Kashmir still lives under unrest and uncertainty by having severe restrictions on their independence of enjoying their basic rights.
