Junior HRD minister Ram Shankar Katheria in fake marksheet row

A geopolitical shock in Tehran has led to visible tension in Kashmir. Following confirmation of Ali Khamenei’s death in an airstrike, large protests erupted in several parts of the Valley. Authorities responded by sealing Lal Chowk, imposing movement restrictions and increasing deployment of security forces. Officials describe the measures as preventive, taken to avoid escalation and safeguard public safety. A shutdown call by religious leadership added to the charged atmosphere, while schools have been temporarily closed as a precaution. The episode underlines the deep emotional and religious links that connect global events to local reactions in Kashmir. With security on high alert, the administration says law and order will not be compromised.
