SRINAGAR, India - Authorities will begin restoring some telephone lines in Indian Kashmir from Friday night, including in the main city of Srinagar where afternoon prayers went peacefully amid heavy security, the top state official said.
“Over the weekend, you’ll have most of these lines functional,” he said, responding to a question about landlines. In some parts of the city, posters appeared calling for protests and asking preachers in mosques to talk about the current situation in Kashmir valley.The lockdown of the Kashmir valley, home to nearly seven million people, has drawn widespread criticism but the government does seem to have succeeded in isolating any protests.
Men carried posters that called for reinstating Article 370, the constitutional provision that India revoked. A group of women marching separately chanted: “We nurtured this Kashmir with our blood, this Kashmir is ours.” In the Kashmir valley, Subrahmanyam said schools would open after the weekend, and restrictions on movement would be lifted after a review of each area.
