Anger mounts in India-administered Kashmir over New Delhi's decision to revoke the special status of the Muslim-majority region amid communications blackout and troop buildup
A Muslim man leaves a mosque after offering Friday prayers as Indian security force personnel stand guard during restrictions following the scrapping of the special constitutional status for India-administered Kashmir, in Jammu on August 9, 2019.
TV images showed dozens of people walking on the streets of Srinagar, the region's main city, for the first time this week to offer prayers at mosques guarded by police. People stand on a road after drawing messages on it during a protest against the scrapping of the special constitutional status for India-administered Kashmir by the government, in New Delhi, India on August 7, 2019 "There is a lull right now ... the situation can go out of control," said the police official, who declined to be named as he was not authorised to speak to the media.
"If they [authorities] have used force on unarmed Kashmiris, we will also react with force," said Ahmed, a university worker. In the days before the announcement in parliament, the region was locked down. Since then, residents have expressed rage and despair and there is a sense that the region won’t remain quiet for long.
