On Saturday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah will inaugurate the first direct international flight between Jammu and Kashmir, Srinagar and Sharjah, UAE on the first day of his three-day visit to Union territory. This is his first visit to the territory of the Union since the abolition of Article 370 in August 2019.
The Shah will chair a security review meeting in Srinagar and will interact with members of the Jammu and Kashmir Youth Club on Saturday. Before the Minister of the Interior visited the Union territory, Srinagar had imposed several traffic restrictions, including strict security checks for those driving two-wheelers.
In addition, a total of 50 Central Reserve Police Forces (CRPF) have been deployed to Jammu and Kashmir for security purposes. Recently, after non-locals in Jammu and Kashmir were killed, about 700 people were detained in Union territory. Some of them were detained under the strict Public Safety Act (PSA), police officials notified.
At the same time, in accordance with the Public Safety Act of 1978, a total of 26 detainees were transferred from Jammu and Kashmir to Agra Central Prison. The order was issued before the Shah began a three-day visit to federal territory on Saturday.
