    Shah tells J&K delegation restrictions will be eased in 25-days

    It's been a month since Jammu and Kashmir was put under unprecedented security cover, forcing locals to stay indoors and being disconnected from the rest of the world. The lockdown has obviously infuriated the residents, but they might soon get a much-needed respite. On Tuesday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah assured a delegation of J&K that restrictions will be lifted in 20-25 days.

    Background: Centre scrapped Article 370, put J&K under lockdown

    As it's globally known by now, the BJP government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, withdrew J&K's special status by revoking Article 370. But before going for the historic move, Centre snapped communication modes in J&K, deployed heavy forces, and detained mainstream politicians. All of this was done to curtail a violent fallout of the move. The government promised it would ease restrictions, gradually.

    People from J&K met Shah at his office

    In a bid to quell doubts related to what will happen in J&K now, Shah met a delegation from the state at his North Block office. The team, comprising nearly 100 people, included village sarpanchs, apple growers and representatives of people displaced during Partition. Most of the people said Shah assured them restrictions would be lifted within a month, reports IE.

    The fight is essentially against terrorism, Shah told delegation

    "He promised to begin the process of block-level elections as quickly as possible. He told the representatives that your fight is against terrorism, as is ours, hence we should ensure an atmosphere of peace in Jammu and Kashmir at the earliest," the statement added.

    Reportedly, the sarpanchs raised the issue of their security, law and order situation, pending payments under MGNREGA, the absence of permanent premises for panchayats, unemployment among the youth, and also sought funds. On this, Shah promised them all possible cooperation. In fact, he also assured the sarpanchs that they will get Rs. 2 lakh insurance and that security situation will improve.
