First report: 36 hours after I landed in #Kashmir (fifth day of curfew)
I could manage internet connection from a relatives place who lives very close to airport (the only place where internet works)
No communication. Medicines especially insulin is needed in valley

#Kashmir is under complete shut down. Very rare movement of people. The videos of Normal Kashmir being shows by some journalists are of Raj Bagh and area close to press enclave where some movement and please don't mistook it as the picture of entire Kashmir.

URGENT: An urgent ticket counter is needed outside Srinagar airport , so that patients who need urgent medication or parents who need to go out to meet their children would be able to get tickets and could be airlifted. @HMOIndia @PMOIndia

Friday prayers have been peaceful by and large. But yes small stone pelting incidents reported across Kashmir.

No Eid Rush or excitement seen in valley.
Daily commodity items have been stored by Kashmiri households. But after a few days they may run out of stock @DeccanHerald

These two stories in local press today which show spirit of Kashmir -

1. How people are helping each other by distributing local vegetables grown in Dal Lake and home lawns.

2. How markets and streets wear deserted look ahead of Eid Ul Zuha.
