A strict curfew has been imposed in the valley for two days on the first anniversary of Article 370 abrogation, the special state status of Jammu and Kashmir, on August 5. The Jammu and Kashmir administration fears that separatists and Pakistan-sponsored groups are preparing to celebrate Black Day on August 5 and violent protests may take place during this period. To prevent protests, Jammu and Kashmir police and paramilitary personnel have been deployed in the entire valley, including Srinagar.
