Guterres reportedly seemed concerned over reports of restrictions on India occupied Kashmir and warned that such actions could exacerbate the human rights situation in the region.
It may be recalled here that the BJP led saffron Indian government had snatched the special status of J&K by scrapping the Article 370 of Indian constitution on August 5. The BJP government has imposed this dictatorial order on Kashmiri masses by imposing curfew in the state.
