New Delhi: Indian-Kashmir is Back to Normal; Opposition, Residents Dispute
Claim

Anjana Pasricha

   NEW DELHI - Indian authorities say normalcy has returned in most areas
   in Indian Kashmir where New Delhi imposed a widespread clampdown after
   scrapping the Himalayan region's semi-autonomous status in August.

   Home Minister Amit Shah's statement in parliament Wednesday came in
   response to opposition lawmakers who criticized the shutdown of the
   internet and questioned the continued detention of scores of Kashmiri
   politicians, including an 82-year-old lawmaker.
   The more than 7 million residents of Indian Kashmir have struggled to
   resume normal lives since tens of thousands of additional troops were
   deployed to the area and massive security restrictions imposed. Indian
   Kashmir is India's only Muslim majority, militancy-hit region.
