The raids were particularly conducted on the houses of the people supporting the Kashmiris’ righteous demand for right to self-determination.
Seething with anger, people in Zadoora area of Pulwama district continued their protests against the Indian soldiers, associated with Indian Army’s 50 Rashtriya Rifles, barging into the Zadoora Jamia Masjid and forcing the worshipers to chant “Jai Shri Ram” and “Bharat Maata Ki Jai” slogans over loudspeakers. Lately reported, the incident took place during Fajr prayers on Saturday. The locals said the army also vandalised the Jamia Masjid, the largest in the south Kashmir village. The incident triggered strong anti-India protests in the area.

Separately, people carrying table fans and empty buckets took to streets at many places in Udhampur and Samba districts of Jammu region to lodge their protest against the authorities over long power cuts.
