With Union Home Minister Amit Shah on August 5 informing Parliament that the Centre proposes to abrogate Article 370 of the Indian Constitution, the repercussions of the move will be widespread and could continue to reverberate for some time to come.
Internally, reports have stated that the government, having anticipated wide-scale turmoil in Kashmir Valley, had imposed Section 144 of the CrPC in parts of J&K, including Srinagar district as a precautionary measure.
