Contradictions in Claims of Peace of India: Schools Closure in IIOJK
July 26, 2024The Indian government’s assertions of restored normalcy and peace in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) have been undermined by the recent closure of numerous educational institutions in the Jammu division.
A high alert across the region has prompted the shutdown of Indian Army-run schools, including Public and Goodwill Schools, and Kendriya Vidyalayas within military cantonments and along the Jammu-Pathankot Highway. Notably, this closure affects at least a dozen schools in areas like Sunjuwan and Domana.
Indian media reports that intelligence agencies have issued specific warnings about potential attacks on these schools, leading to the closures as a precautionary measure. Official sources indicate that the IIOJK administration, in coordination with Indian security agencies, has decided to keep all Army and Kendriya Vidyalaya schools, along with other cantonment schools, closed until further notice.
Authorities have assured that these schools will reopen once the situation stabilizes and normalcy is restored. Additionally, a high alert has been issued for all defense installations along the Jammu-Pathankot highway following intelligence reports of potential attacks.
This development clearly contrasts the Indian government’s narrative of peace and normalcy in the region, highlighting ongoing security concerns and instability in IIOJK.
