A fresh lockdown has been imposed in parts of Kashmir after a spike in the number of coronavirus positive cases, which prompted authorities to reimpose restriction in Containment and Red Zones of the valley.&nbsp;

After the lockdown was lifted, people breathed a sigh of relief but locals were not following social distancing norms and other SOPs laid by the&nbsp;government with experts calling for an immediate lockdown to control the spread of this deadly virus.

Shops, business establishments, and offices remained shut with containment areas sealed with fences and barricades by the authorities to curb the movement of people.&nbsp;The decision to impose restrictions has been taken after the recommendations of experts, officials say.&nbsp;

"District Magistrate Srinagar Shahid Iqbal Choudhary issuing orders in this regard has directed for sealing off all these 88 red zones with strict enforcement of restrictions on public movement and activities of all sorts," a press release by the government said.&nbsp;

On Sunday, strict restrictions were ordered in 88 containment zones of Srinagar to deal with the growing cases in the city. The total number of positive cases in Srinagar has reached 1,708, out of which 1145 are active according to the latest data provided by the administration. The summer capital of the union territory Srinagar has 1,704 cases, the highest among 20 districts of J&amp;K with 44 deaths so far.&nbsp;

A total of 10,513 people have been tested COVID positive since the outbreak which has worried the health experts with currently 4355 cases active positive in different hospitals.&nbsp;Apart from Srinagar, districts including Baramulla, Anantnag, and Kupwara have imposed a similar strategy to combat the deadly virus.&nbsp;

STRUGGLING ECONOMY

What's more worrying is that the economy of the erstwhile state has been badly hit post the abrogation of J&amp;K special status which witnessed many days of curfew and restrictions. The business sector of the valley had pinned their hopes to this summer but the spread of coronavirus has brought down curtains on their hopes.

TOURISM AMID CORONA

An order issued by the administration to reopen tourism has drawn flak from locals as they are questioning the government for reimposing lockdown while asking tourists to visit the valley.&nbsp;&nbsp;A set of guidelines have been issued by the government in which tourists will be allowed to enter only by air with&nbsp;RTPCR testing on arrival compulsory.&nbsp;

"This may send out a positive message but we don't expect tourists to come when its largely about personal safety first. We have growing cases and a lockdown has been ordered again, how will tourists come?" asked a man associated with tourism sector in Kashmir.&nbsp;

Suspended Jammu and Kashmir DSP Davinder Singh, arrested while ferrying two Hizb-ul-Mujahideen terrorists in a vehicle on the Srinagar-Jammu Highway earlier this year, was granted bail on Friday by a court here in another terror case filed by Delhi Police after it failed to file a charge sheet within the prescribed time period. Singh and another accused in the case - Irfan Shafi Mir - were granted the relief by Special Judge Dharmender Rana in the case filed by the special cell of Delhi police, who noted that it failed to file the charge sheet within 90 days from their arrest, as prescribed under the law.

In the bail applications filed on behalf of the accused, their lawyer M S Khan said that neither the police filed charge sheet within statutory period of 90 days, nor any permission was sought from the court to extend that period.“Considering the fact that despite the lapse of statutory time limit to complete investigation, charge sheet in the instant matter is not filed till date, both the accused persons are entitled to be released on bail,” the judge said, while granting the relief on a personal bond of 1 lakh each and two sureties of like amount.

Singh was suspended from the Jammu and Kashmir Police in January this year.

In the current case, filed by the special cell of Delhi Police under section 18 (conspiracy for terror acts) of stringent UAPA and section 120-B (criminal conspiracy) of IPC, Singh and Mir were arrested on March 14 and 19 respectively. The special cell had brought Singh to Delhi from Hira Nagar Jail in Jammu and Kashmir. The case relates to planning/ execution of terror attacks in Delhi and other parts of the country.

"It (car) was kept under watch for the night. People in nearby houses were evacuated and the vehicle was destroyed on-site by the bomb disposal squad as moving it would have been a serious threat," Director General of Police Dilbag Singh said.

In 2019's Pulwama attack, a car carrying IED smashed into a CRPF bus killing 40 CRPF soldiers. India retaliated by bombing a camp of the terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed deep inside Pakistan. An air battle also followed between Indian and Pakistani fighter jets.

The security forces have prevented another massive car bomb attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama district. The forces stopped a vehicle that was carrying over 45kg of improvised explosive device (IED) which is enough to repeat the attack that took place in 2019.

The killing of Kashmir's most wanted terrorist, Riyaz Naikoo, who carried a reward of Rs 12 lakh&nbsp;is being termed by the security forces as a major success in Jammu and Kashmir.

Naikoo, the "operational commander"&nbsp;of banned terror outfit Hizb-ul-Mujahideen, according to police was involved in several terror crimes from abductions of policemen to killings.&nbsp;

The operation which killed Naikoo wasn't easy for the men in uniform. Both human and technical intelligence was gathered and aligned for months altogether.&nbsp;

<a href="http://13.235.153.162/south-asia/covid-19-pakistan-to-lift-shutdown-in-phases-from-saturday-297240">Also read:&nbsp;COVID-19: Pakistan to lift shutdown in phases from Saturday</a>

A special team of Jammu and Kashmir police was formed which was headed by the deputy inspector general south Kashmir range Atul Goyal, who spent years in the NIA, before returning back to JKP cadre. It was under his command and close eye, the operation to kill Naikoo took place, police say.&nbsp;

"For six months, we were generating intelligence (on Naikoo), busted (terrorist) hideouts. We had teams working day and night, even some only slept for 2 to 3 hours and kept tracking overground workers and interrogating them," says Vijay Kumar, Inspector-General of Police, Kashmir.&nbsp;

The police say a small team of security forces was initially sent to Beigpora village in Awantipora and soon CRPF men arrived too. The area which is the native village of Riyaz was cordoned off by a joint team of security forces.&nbsp;

"On the first day, we found nothing in the same area but the cordon continued and searches too. The next day, terrorists&nbsp;finally opened fire and we retaliated," Vijay says.&nbsp;

Security forces managed to bust a web of hideouts in the area during the operation. As many as six hideouts were busted and in the seventh, Naikoo was found. Police say that there were no tunnels but only hideouts.&nbsp;

"Riyaz would release video and instigate people, he had the power to influence the youth to join terrorism," IG Kashmir said.&nbsp;

In the last four months, security forces have launched 27 anti-terrorist&nbsp;operations in which 64 terrorists have been killed this year which includes Qari Yasir of Jaish-e-Muhammad, Burhan Koka of Ansar Ghazwatul Hind and Riyaz Naikoo of Hizb.&nbsp;

Giving out numbers, police say&nbsp;they have arrested 25 active terrorists and 125 overground workers of terrorists, recently.&nbsp;

Forces say he was the "backbone" of Lashkar-e-Taiba in north Kashmir. J&amp;K police blame Pakistan for creating 'The Resistance Front' (TRF) under international pressure for its activities in the valley.

"TRF claimed all those terrorists&nbsp;who were in our Lashkar list. We have also shut their telegram channel through&nbsp;which they issued statements," Vijar Kumar said.
