The local administration of Jammu and Kashmir will not allow the opposition members to leave the airport at Srinagar, the state’s main city, and have booked a return flight to New Delhi a few hours after they land, top officials told Reuters. The situation in Kashmir remained tensed with security forces using tear gas against stone-throwing local residents in the main city Srinangar on Friday, after a third straight week of protests in the restive Soura district despite the imposition of tight restrictions.
This would be the second attempt to visit the state by opposition leaders and the first by Gandhi after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government withdrew special rights for the Muslim-majority state.
