Frustrated neighbour violates ceasefire along LoC on a day restrictions were eased across Jammu & Kashmir
Easing movement and communication across the Valley, the Centre on Saturday lifted the restrictions across 35 police stations which include North, South Kashmir and Central Kashmir.
Principal Secretary of Planning Commission in Jammu Kashmir, Rohit Kansal on Saturday said that by the end of day, nearly 23,000 landline connections across Kashmir Valley will be made functional. "As we speak, the authorities are on the job of releasing further telephone connections and we hope by the end of today, nearly 23,000 landline connections across Kashmir Valley will be made functional," he told media here.
Schools beginning from primary level and all the Government offices will reopen on Monday. Local transport is also plying normally.
"In the morning, I had clarified that we are beginning with primary schools largely located within the locality. We will move on to other schools as well but make a beginning with primary schools," Rohit Kansal said.
Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Kashmir Swayam Prakash Pani and Director Information and Public Relations Dr Syed Sehrish Asgar were also present at the press meet.
Landline services across Jammu division are functioning normally, said Kansal, adding that mobile services have also been restored in five districts. Internet services have also been restored in Jammu.
Mobile, internet and telephone connections were snapped in the newly-formed Union Territory in an effort to maintain peace and avoid any untoward incident following Centre's decision to revoke the special status of Jammu and Kashmir and bifurcate into two UTs.

Speaking on the restrictions, Kansal said the administration is closely monitoring the whole situation and so far no untoward incident has been reported from anywhere in the Valley. He said the plying of public transport normally on the roads is a good sign and there are reports that the same has been noticed in rural areas also.
IGP Kashmir SP Pani said the administration is calibrating the situation and in this regard, easing is done in a gradual manner.
