Jammu and Kashmir — removal of section 370

Two days before the Indian government announced the abrogation of Section 370, thousands of Amarnath Yatra pilgrims were asked to leave Kashmir immediately. Since then, Section 144 was imposed, internet services were suspended, and political leaders like Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti were placed under house arrest. Even after 138 days, the section is still imposed in the area during the night.

Life in Kashmir stood standstill for weeks as people across the region had no clue about the situation.
