Restrictions were reimposed in Srinagar on Sunday, after protests were reported at certain parts of the city. Government spokesman Rohit Kansal said the restrictions were eased in 35 police station areas of the valley. However, several places witnessed clashes between groups of youth and security forces, leading to reimposition of the curbs, PTI reported.
Earlier, restrictions imposed on people's movement and communication links in Jammu and Kashmir are being eased out in a phased manner. "The restrictions in J&K are being eased out in a phased manner, and the situation in the Jammu division has been restored after assessment by relevant local authorities," a spokesperson had said. Medical services are being provided to people without any hindrance.
The out-patient departments (OPD) have been given requisite medical treatment to 13,500 patients in various hospitals in Srinagar, the spokesperson said. Availability of all drugs, including life-saving, have been ensured in every hospital across the valley.
About 100 heavy vehicles carrying LPG, and other essentials are plying daily through the national highway.
The security clampdown has been imposed after the Centre on August 5 revoked provisions of Article 370 that gave special status to the state and bifurcated it into union territories—Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh.
