Indian authorities are expected to extend a military clampdown in Kashmir ahead of Monday's start of Eid Al Adha festival
Indian paramilitary soldiers patrol a street in Srinagar, India-administered Kashmir, Saturday, Aug. 10, 2019.
Officials eased restrictions earlier Sunday but imposed them again in the afternoon amid a tense atmosphere in the main city of Srinagar. Some 500 people took part in protests on Sunday. Indian authorities have stressed that no violence has broken out in the picturesque valley. Only two mobile phones with an outside line are on offer in the deputy commissioner's office, but so desperate are people to contact families in the rest of India and overseas that they come from across Srinagar and beyond to wait in line.
"They stopped me from entering because they don't have a female police officer to frisk me," the dejected woman, who was hoping to call her two children studying abroad, told AFP.
