Notably, authorities banned people from offering mandatory Friday congregational prayers in historic Jamia Masjid on last seven Fridays. Similar cases were reported from other major Masjids across Kashmir.
Meanwhile, reports coming from South Kashmir’s Islamabad district said that forces have sealed all roads leading to Dooru area of the district.
