While security is paramount, the complete restrictions are very disruptive. Schools closed, transport suspended... this affects daily life and the local economy deeply. There must be a balance between safety and normalcy.

Good to see high-level coordination. J&K's peace is crucial for India's stability. The mention of border management is key, especially now. Our forces are doing a tough job, we must support them.

Slowing down internet speed feels like a collective punishment. I understand the need to stop provocative content, but it hampers communication, business, and access to information for everyone. There has to be a more targeted approach.

Strong leadership is visible. When the L-G himself chairs a meeting with top Army and police brass, it sends a clear message that the administration is serious. This is needed to deter any external elements trying to create trouble.

My brother is posted in Srinagar. He says such reviews are routine but essential. The "area domination" they discuss is what keeps the streets safe. As a family, we just pray for the safety of all our jawans and officers. 🇮🇳
