Indian Government on August 5 abolished Article 370 and Article 35A in Kashmir, which gave it a special status. Since then, Kashmir has been put under absolute communications blackout for over 69 days.
On October 13, 99% of the Post-paid networks were relaxed, yet a wide range of fundamental rights are deprived.
