Offices in Kashmir fully functional, schools to reopen Monday



NEW DELHI: The government offices in Jammu and Kashmir have become fully functional, the state’s Chief Secretary BVR Subrahmanyam said today in a press conference, listing measures taken by the administration to ease the restrictions imposed after the centre ended special status to the state.

He further said that schools will reopen from Monday “area wise” and telecom services will be restored in a phased manner.

“After today’s Friday prayers, there would be an easing of restrictions in the next few days in an orderly manner. Schools will be opened after the weekend, area-wise so that children’s studies do not suffer,” he said.

“Government offices have been made fully functional from today. Telecom connectivity will be gradually restored in a phased manner, exchange by exchange,” he added.
