All Parties Hurriyat Conference has said that the people of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir remain steadfast in their struggle for freedom from India.

In a statement, APHC spokesman, Advocate Abdul Rashid Minhas, said that the people of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir will continue their resistance until they achieve their internationally recognized right to self-determination.

The spokesman said the Kashmiri people are prepared to face every challenge, including Indian bullets and prison cells, but will never surrender to New Delhi's occupation policies.

Meanwhile, the massive cordon and search operation has entered its sixteenth day in Rajouri district.

The prolonged search also caused severe disruption to civilian life in the forested belt.

Indian authorities have tightened restrictions days ahead of the annual Amarnath Yatra by deploying advanced surveillance equipment, scanners and jammers across the Kashmir Valley.

Locals fear that these measures will lead to increased checkpoints, movement restrictions and intrusive monitoring.
