Meanwhile, the newly-established State Investigation Agency also conducted raids at multiple locations in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

The sleuths of the agency accompanied by paramilitary Central Reserve Police Force and Indian police carried out raids particularly in central Kashmir.

The SIA sleuths also raided the house of illegally detained Hurriyat leader Fayaz Ahmad at Bopat in Beerwah area of Budgam district and harassed his family members.

The travel Agents Association of Kashmir has condemned harassment of locals as well as tourists in the name of security arrangements for the Amarnath Yatra.

The Travel Agents Association President, Farooq Ahmed Kuthoo in a statement issued in Srinagar said many tourists have got stuck on highways due to severe restrictions. He said preferential treatment to Yatris is badly affecting Kashmir's economy.

The National Conference leader, Hasnain Masoodi, talking to media persons in Srinagar expressed concern over halt to normal life and closure of business activities on the yatra routes in Kashmir.
