With having nearly seven million people of Kashmir valley under severe lock down, the Indian government, in its response to the petition in the Supreme court, had said that the security forces on grounds are closely monitoring and reviewing the situation in the valley to relax the hands of restrictions and the lock downs over the next few days.

The Indian government had, on August 4th, brought the state of Jammu and Kashmir under its tight surveillance on the valley where the authorities had banned and suspended the telephone, mobile networks and internet links along with imposing the curfew which bans unorganized gathering and assembly of the people in what it was seen as the moves to tighten and enhance the security grids in the region to counter and combat the security and violent threats which may arise in the Kashmir valley after the Indian government had scrapped the special status which the state have been enjoying for the past seven decades.

The Kashmir valley had stationed thousands of central armed and paramilitary forces who had barricaded the roads and streets of the valley to make sure that no untoward incidents may erupt which will unlock the gate for cross border terrorism and infiltration. Later, one day prior of India's announcement of suspending the special status, the state security forces had detained and house arrested the political leaders of state political parties.

The Indian government has been vastly criticized for its actions of suppressing and restricting the people of Kashmir valley and the local political leaders, where the opposition parties and rights activists have urged Indian government to forgo its decision of locking down the state and demanding to relax the restrictions that were imposed on the local residents. However, there were thin relaxations on the curbs where the state authorities had loosened the curfew to let the local residents to offer their prayers on Eid celebrations.

The Supreme court had seen tabling of the petitions from the opposition parties, journalists, activists which were demanded the directives from the apex court to order the government to lift up the restrictions. Of those who had filed petitions in Supreme court, is Anuradha Bhasin, executive editor of Kashmir Times, where she told the reporters outside the court that she was unable to reach her staffs because of having continuous shut downs for phone lines and internet.

Replying to her petition in the court, Government's lawyer Tushar Mehta had told that the security forces have been under reviewing the current situations in the valley to lift the restrictions over few days.

One of India's top channel, with reference from unnamed sources, had said that the schools in the region will most likely get reopened on Monday while hundreds of the political leaders and activists are still under detention where some of the detainees have been lodged in the prisons outside the state of Jammu and Kashmir.

Adding to the unrest, India's neighborhood rival, which had shown its untoward face on India's unilateral move of Kashmir, had accused Indian armed forces for killing three of its soldiers in Line of control ahead to which Pakistan had subpoenaed India's deputy high commissioner over ceasefire violations, both of the claims which India strongly denied.
