Security measures may be relaxed a bit in Jammu & Kashmir. The government will be watching closely to gauge the mood in Kashmir Valley later this week. This is mainly during Friday prayers and on Eid-ul-Zuha, which falls on August 12. The Centre, along with the administration in Srinagar, has been monitoring the situation closely, with national security adviser Ajit Doval on the ground assessing developments in the Valley over the past few days. He has held meetings with governor Satya Pal Malik and other senior functionaries. There does not seem to be any anticipated time-line to restrictions being lifted and security deployment — ramped up ahead of the Parliament vote on Article 370 and splitting of Jammu & Kashmir into two Union territories — being thinned out. Though some relaxation in curfew-like restrictions under prohibitory orders (Section 144) may be announced on Thursday ahead of Friday prayers, but internet services via mobile and broadband are unlikely to be restored.
