Restrictions such as blocking of phone lines, internet, have been imposed by the Centre in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) after the abrogation of Article 370 as a precautionary measure to avoid any untoward incident in the Valley.

Earlier in the day, the Supreme Court refused to lift restrictions imposed by the Centre in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) after the abrogation of Article 370 as a precautionary measure to avoid any untoward incident in the Valley.
Mentioning that the situation is sensitive in Kashmir, the Supreme Court said, "it would not like to pass any order that will affect normalcy and lead to any loss of lives."
The apex court said this during hearing on a petition filed by Tehseen Poonawalla seeking withdrawal of curfew, blocking of phone lines, internet, news channels and other restrictions from J&K.
The Centre assured the court that the situation in J&K is being monitored on a daily basis and a stage-by-stage decision is being reviewed to lift restrictions depending on the best interest of the administration and peace.
