(PTI)The Jammu and Kashmir administration on Sunday briefly sealed the office of the pro-India People’s Democratic Party in Jammu ahead of its president Mehbooba Mufti’s visit, the development unfolding as the region remained under curfew for the third consecutive day. Kashmir observed a complete shutdown on Sunday against the “harassment” of Kashmiris in Jammu and elsewhere in the country. Government officials said the PDP office in Jammu’s Gandhi Nagar locality was briefly sealed by police ahead of Mehbooba’s visit, apparently over law and order concerns. Mehbooba arrived in Jammu on Sunday to take stock of the situation following the attacks on Kashmiris. Jammu is the winter capital of the state and hundreds of Kashmiri employees shift to the region for six months because of this.
