Srinagar:  A fraction of schools and all government offices opened today in Srinagar as the administration said restrictions were being eased in phases after two weeks of a security lockdown to avoid trouble over the centre's decision to end special status to Jammu and Kashmir and split it into two Union Territories. Officials claim two-thirds landlines have been restored in the Kashmir valley and mobile internet services would be back after a review of the security situation. Hundreds of politicians, including former chief ministers Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti, remain in custody.
