Indian army and paramilitary soldiers stand guard as an Indian Army convoy crosses the national highway on the outskirts of Srinagar, the summer capital of Indian Kashmir, 07 April 2019. The Jammu and Kashmir government has banned civilian traffic on Srinagar-Jammu national highway for two days in a week (Sunday and Wednesday) for safe passage of Indian security forces convoys. The authorities have deployed civil magistrates on the highway to facilitate travel of medical emergencies, students and tourists on highway by giving them on-spot travel passes. Earlier, after February 14 suicide car bombing on CRPF convoy in which 40 paramilitary personnel were killed, forces were stopping civilian vehicles during convoy movements.
