Srinagar, Anticipating reactions to the Indian Supreme Court’s imminent verdict on the abrogation of Article 370, significant security measures have been implemented across occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

According to Kashmir Media Service, that the decision by the Supreme Court is expected to be announced shortly. In preparation, Indian troops have been extensively deployed throughout Srinagar and other districts of the occupied territory, aimed at curtailing potential anti-India protests. The verdict will address the Indian government’s revocation of Article 370 on August 5, 2019, a move that has been a point of contention since its inception.

The heightened security measures include the establishment of numerous checkpoints and roadblocks in all major cities and towns across the Kashmir valley and parts of the Jammu region. Bulletproof mobile bunker vehicles are a common sight, and there has been a notable increase in high-tech CCTV surveillance throughout the area.

The Constitution Bench of the Indian Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, is set to pronounce the judgment. The decision is highly anticipated and is likely to have significant implications for the region’s political and social landscape.
