SRINAGAR: Two Kashmiris were martyred in firing by Indian security forces on Monday as Kashmiris in the occupied region observe ?Black day? on the August 15.
Indian troops martyred two Kashmiri youths in the Baramulla district, alleging they were militants.
The Kashmiris on the both sides of the Line of Control (LoC) are observing ?Black Day? on Indian Independence Day. It was reported that on the request of the Huriyat leaders, black flags were hoisted up at the buildings and houses.
The Indian security forces arrested Syed Ali Gilani and Mir Waiz Umer Farooq.
The valley is currently facing a complete shutterdown as the curfew entered into the 38th day.
District commissioners have been instructed that no Indian flag should be raised in any part of the occupied territory.
Several rallies will also take place today to protest against the Indian occupation.
Observance of the Indian Independence Day as black day is to express extreme indignation and hatred against India for forcibly keeping the area under its unlawful and forcible occupation since last 69 years and to condemn the ongoing fresh wave of state terrorism and genocide of innocent Kashmiris in the valley, organisers said.
People in Indian-occupied Kashmir (IoK) while flouting curfew and other restrictions on Sunday had celebrated Pakistan's Independence Day with great zeal by staging massive pro-Pakistan rallies and demonstrations and hoisting Pakistani flags in every nook and cranny of the territory.
Huge contingents of Indian army, police and paramilitary personnel were deployed in every district and town across the territory to enforce restrictions on the Kashmiris.
The violence and protests in the occupied region witnessed an escalation when freedom fighter Burhan Wani was martyred by Indian forces on the July 8.
Indian security forces have resorted to firing pellets to disperse protesters injuring over 3500, and rendering some blind.
Since July, dozens of Kashmiri youth have lost their eyesight after Indian forces resorted to using pellet guns on unarmed civilians.
