Srinagar: Offices of the Jammu and Kashmir government were functioning normally in the Valley Friday while schools will reopen next week, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Secretary B V R Subrahmanyam said.
Addressing a press conference, Subrahmanyam said there has been no loss of life or major injury since restrictions were imposed August 5, when the special status given to Jammu and Kashmir was abrogated and the state was bifurcated into two Union Territories.
The chief secretary also said 12 districts in Jammu and Kashmir were functioning normally while there was limited restrictions only in five districts.
However, Kashmir remained shut for the 12th consecutive day Friday, even as the authorities relaxed restrictions on the movement of people here.
“Restrictions on the movement of people have been eased in most parts of the Valley. The situation so far has remained peaceful,” a senior official of the state administration said here. He said while the deployment of security forces on the ground remains as earlier, people were allowed to move around the city and other towns.
