Srinagar, Aug 2 (Newswire): In occupied Kashmir, the residents of Srinagar are facing immense shortage of essentials and medicines due to continued undeclared curfew imposed by the authorities.
Shafaat Ahmed, a local, talking to the media men, said that the domestic stock of edibles had exhausted. "We had stocked edibles but due to prolonged curfew and other restrictions, we ran short of the stock," he said.
Ghulam Muhammad, a resident of Narwara, said that the puppet administration was committing gross rights abuses by depriving the people of basic necessities.
The people said that Indian police and Central Reserve Police Force personnel did not even allow the milkmen to move out for business while many families could not get bread since many days. The residents said that they could not get even medicines.
"I couldn't get medicines for my ailing mother because Indian troopers did not allow me to go out," said Javed, a Maharaja Bazar resident.
Another resident said that despite request before the troopers, he was denied permission to get milk for his child from adjoining locality. The residents of Chanapora and Eidgah said that the troops did not allow any vegetable vendor to venture out nor was anyone allowed to go outside for the essential shopping.
Meanwhile, the police and CRPF men hampered relief efforts made by locals at hospitals, where most of the injured in firing were being treated. "We had arranged tea, cold drinks and food for attendants and others arriving in the premises. The police and CRPF chased us away and beat many of us," said Soura resident, Muhammad Shafi.
The residents of Eidgah, Nowshehra, Awanta Bhawan and adjacent areas collected relief and reached the hospital early in the morning for its distribution. "We were in the midst of distribution when the police arrived and beat up many people there," said a resident.
