Militarization of government schools begins in IOK

ISLAMABAD, (APP): Personnel associated with
several paramilitary forces of India, especially called to
quell uprising in the occupied territory, have settled in
scores of government school buildings and are using them
as their residential camps.
Thus, India has virtually started a new phase of
re-militarization in Occupied Kashmir, KMS reported.
The paramilitary Central Armed Protection Force (CAPF)
troops have occupied the government school buildings barely
a day after the puppet Education Minister, Naeem Akhtar,
announced the reopening of schools in the Valley.
The schools occupied by the CAPF troops in Srinagar
include S P Higher Secondary School, two schools in Nishat,
Girls High School Kral Khud, Kothibagh Higher Secondary School
both boys and girls, a school in Pantha Chowk, one school in
Maharaj Gunj, one School in Safakadal, one school in Karan
Nagar, one school in Lal Bazar, one school in Rainawari, Girls
Higher Secondary School Rajbagh, one school in Police Lines,
one school in Chanapora and one in Nowgam.
While the puppet administration is pressurizing children
and teachers to attend schools in a bid to break the ongoing
anti-India uprising in occupied Kashmir, it has handed over
a dozen schools in Srinagar alone for accommodation of Indian
armed forces, drawing massive flak from the stakeholders.
At prime locations in Srinagar, Indian forces including BSF,
CAPF, CRPF and SSB who have been called to handle the uprising
that entered its 47th day, today, have been given accommodation in
school campuses.
Interestingly, the development comes at a time when puppet
Education Minister, Naeem Akhtar, has claimed to hold examinations
of Class 10th and Class 12th on time and had earlier asked school
authorities to make their institutes functional to avoid academic
losses of the students.
This helplessness of the authorities justifies Hurriyet
leadership to term them as puppet authorities.
