Kashmir seals off areas, cuts internet, shuts schools for 2 days after protests over Khamenei killing

In response to widespread protests following the assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, authorities in Kashmir have implemented stringent measures to prevent unrest. The region has been sealed off in key areas, with a complete shutdown of internet services and schools for a duration of two days. These actions aim to maintain public order amid heightened tensions. The decision reflects ongoing concerns about the potential for violence and unrest, as Kashmir has a history of political instability and civil unrest. The local government is closely monitoring the situation, anticipating further protests in solidarity with the Iranian populace, while balancing the need for security and public safety. This incident underscores the interconnectedness of geopolitical events and their impact on local dynamics within the region.
