Normalcy Will Return To Jk In 4 Months

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said it would take four months for Jammu and Kashmir to return to normal after his government stripped the state of its special status in August and imposed harsh restrictions.
At a rally in the western state of Maharashtra, Modi said that his government had taken the necessary steps to maintain security in Jammu and Kashmir, India’s only Muslim-majority state that is also claimed by neighboring Pakistan.
New Delhi insists that its move in August was essential to integrate Kashmir fully into India and bring development to the Himalayan region, but there are anger and discontent among many locals over the decision.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said it would take four months for Jammu and Kashmir to return to normal after his government stripped the state of its special status in August and imposed harsh restrictions.
Alongside the withdrawal on August 5 of constitutional provisions that gave Jammu and Kashmir more autonomy than any other Indian state, Modi’s government flooded the region with additional troops and imposed curfew-like restrictions to keep a lid on protests.
Although many curbs, including those on movement, have been eased, mobile telephone and internet connections in the Kashmir valley, home to around seven million people, remain cut off.
