India to keep Kashmir lockdown for Eid on protest fearsIndian authorities are expected to extend a military clampdown in Kashmir ahead of Monday’s start of the Eid al-Adha festival on fears protests could break out over its stripping of the Muslim-majority region’s autonomy. Indian-administered Kashmir has been in a security lockdown since last Monday, when India’s Hindu-majority government rescinded years of autonomy and gave full control to New Delhi. Officials eased restrictions earlier Sunday but imposed them again in the afternoon amid a tense atmosphere in the main city of Srinagar.
