The editorial
Source: The Times of India · 7 Aug 2019Government must sensitively handle likely protests in Kashmir once lockdown is lifted.

Over the last week the Centre had massively boosted security presence in Kashmir, curtailed the annual Amarnath yatra and even put Kashmiri leaders under house arrest. Clearly, the Centre felt that the security situation could get out of hand with its big Kashmir move.
