The govt and most of India's Television media have portrayed that the situation is normal in all of Kashmir and that the people of the valley are ok with this move.

Newsclick spent a week covering the neighbourhood and found that there have been regular protests against the removal of article 370 and that the neighbourhood is under siege by Govt. forces.
