Srinagar: In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Indian forces have intensified operations across the Kashmir Valley, carrying out raids, detentions and property seizures as part of a wider campaign against the Kashmiri people on one pretext or another.

According to media report, operations were launched in several districts, with a major focus on south Kashmir's Islamabad district, where police conducted search operations at around 20 identified hotspots. Multiple teams raided residences of locals during the operations, further deepening fears of harassment among the population.

Authorities have also initiated surveys of properties which they claim were acquired through illegal means. However, observers say that seizing Kashmiris' properties has become a new normal in the territory, particularly since August 2019, when hundreds of locally owned properties have been confiscated.
