450 People On Temporary No Fly List In Jammu & Kashmir After August 5

Jammu and Kashmir administration has prepared a list of over 450 people including businessmen, journalists, lawyers and political activists, who would not be allowed to travel abroad for a particular time period. The list was prepared in wake of the revocation of special status and downgrading of J&K into two Union Territories on August 5.

The list was prepared in wake of the revocation of special status and downgrading of J&K into two Union Territories through J&K Reorganization Bill passed on August 5 in Lok Sabha. This was to ensure that no ‘influencer’ from Kashmir would be able to travel abroad.

After August 5, authorities didn’t allow a few people from travelling abroad and were stopped at the International Airport in New Delhi. None of them were given any specific reasons on why they weren’t allowed to travel despite valid visas from the country they were visiting and boarding passes given by the airlines.
