India to bring in food supplies to Kashmir as curfew continues

Indian authorities to transport food supplies for Eid al Adha into Indian-administered Kashmir as communication and military clampdown continues

Kashmiri women embark on a march after Friday prayers in Srinagar, Indian-administered Kashmir on August 9, 2019.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday assured the people of Jammu and Kashmir, as the state is known, that normalcy would gradually return and that the government was ensuring the current restrictions do not dampen the Eid festival on Monday.
