SRINAGAR: 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 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.“A lot of things are in the pipeline for J&K and administration has to take steps to ensure that things happen smoothly. Some people could create trouble in that smooth transition,” a senior police official told ET. Another official in the administration informed that said that some people are on the radar for their activities and contacts abroad, so they were not allowed to travel, however, the list cannot be technically called as ‘Exit Control List’ but is a sort of preventive prohibition on travel or a temporary No Flying List.After August 5, J&K government has detained many prominent politicians, Hurriyat leaders, businessmen, lawyers and other civilians in Kashmir including three former chief ministers Farooq Abdullah, Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti . The administration also snapped mobile phone, landline and Internet network for over two months to ensure that there are no protests or unrest in wake of the passing of J&K Reorganization Bill.In past few weeks, a few political leaders, activists, journalists and lawyers weren’t allowed to fly from New Delhi’s International Airport. One of them was Uzair Ronga, a lawyer and convener of a recently launched political party J&K People’s Movement. JKPM is led by former bureaucrat Shah Faesal who was also stopped from travelling abroad and is currently under detention in Srinagar.“I wasn’t told anything specific. They just informed after repeated request that my name is on the list and I won’t be allowed to travel. I tried to seek answers, but they didn’t say anything,” Ronga told ET. His father Nazir Ahmad Ronga, also a lawyer and pro-freedom activist, is currently lodged in a jail in Uttar Pradesh.Similarly, two journalists were stopped from traveling abroad in September. Also, children of a prominent businessman --currently under detention in Uttar Pradesh—who work abroad, weren’t allowed to land in Delhi and meet their father. The administration hasn’t informed any of the people about the duration of the ban on their travel abroad. “They simply want that nobody should raise voice about what is happening in Kashmir on any platform in a foreign country,” said Ronga.
