Communication gag badly affects life, revives letter writing trend in Kashmir

By Abid Bashir
Srinagar, Aug 22 (UNI) The gag on all means of communication, including the suspension of mobile phone, broadband and landline services, since Articles 370 and 35 A were scrapped by the Centre on August 5, has badly affected the locals, particularly students, professionals and journalists in Kashmir, where people have resorted to letter writing, to keep in touch with their loved ones.
Meanwhile, normal life remained crippled, as shops and business establishments remained closed and traffic was off the roads for the 18th successive day on Thursday, due to restrictions imposed by authorities and a strike against the scrapping of special status of Jammu and Kashmir.
