Indefinite curfew in Kashmir forced weddings to be postponed

Weddings that usually take place after Eid were postponed due to the prevailing situation.

A few wedding functions were extended to later dates due to the shortage of essentials.

Although, communication has been eased in some places people are still not able to reach and contact their loved ones living across the country.

According to reports, 95 schools including primary schools reopened in Rajouri district but many remained deserted. The high schools, higher secondary schools and degree colleges reportedly remained close in Kashmir.

Addressing a press conference, Rohit Kansal, principal secretary of Planning and Development had said that administration is planning to restore 'full functionality' of schools and government offices.

Restrictions on communication continued in most parts of the Valley barring some areas, while mobile Internet services in five of ten districts were suspended again in Jammu on Sunday, a day after being restored.

The government has said that it would ease and lift the restrictions in a phased manner in Jammu and Kashmir. No untoward incident was reported from the areas where relaxation was provided.

Marriages in Kashmir being delayed due to continous curfew and communication clampdown

Srinagar : after centres move to abrogate article 370 , most of the parts have been put under curfew and the presence of para military troops can be witnessed everywhere.

Due to curfews and restrictions ,most of the marriages that were to take place after Eid ul Zuha have either been postponed or the functions have been limited as for the shortage of essential commudities.

Although restrictions have been eased at many places however the situation is not such that people can buy all the necassary items for the marriages and because of the communication clampdown people are not able to contact and reach to their loved ones.
