"Pakistan has given up on azadi & shut the door on us. Resistance will now be a futile exercise"
That is the sense of the street in #Kashmir even as there is visible disappointment about the perceived loss of the special status. "Modi has shocked & surprised Pakistan again" (1)
Small demonstrations have happened, injuries & two deaths claimed. Yet, consensus gaining ground in #Kashmir that no major flare up will happen as #Pakistan has been rendered incompetent to do anything."UN jaane se kya hoga? UN toh Srinagar mein itne saal se!"

No mass resignations in govt or local police services. Reports of a RPO quitting in protest. However, what is key to note is the SP rank officer, said to be related to Sajjad Lone, had ALREADY quit 20 days ago! @ahmedalifayyaz tells me his resig not linked to 370, 35A move (3)
Strategy of total communications lockdown played key role in preventing mobilisation of crowds, organised violence & prevented the unnecessary loss of life. "Communciation lockdown while regrettable to an extent, are unavoidable". Detaining troublemakers & politicians helped

All eyes now on Eid & immediately afterwards - especially in South Kashmir hotspots.
Constant, nearly hourly security reviews taking place.
Bottomline: 370, 35A gone, but an ineffectual Pakistan has shocked many Kashmiri's more than anything else. Blinkers gone for many.
(5/5)
