Restrictions have been lifted in all twenty two districts in Jammu and Kashmir where the situation was critical after the abolition of Article 370 on August 5, 2019. According to reports, Indian media has claimed that India has removed curfew in 22 districts of occupied Kashmir. The Indian government imposed a curfew in occupied Kashmir on August 5 last month, before ending its special status in Kashmir. The Indian government asked the local establishments to open schools in the valley to slowly bring the valley into the mainstream. Moreover, the shops and businesses, which were earlier shut down, will slowly become operational in the Indian occupied Kashmir (IoK). Indian Supreme Court sets bench on petitions against elimination of special status of Kashmir.
