Although a curfew affecting some parts of the capital, Srinagar, is being lifted, the city has yet to return to normal. Reports emerged in Srinagar of security personnel being pelted with rocks even despite restrictions on the movement of people being lifted in many areas. However, to maintain law and order, gatherings of four or more people have been prohibited until the situation improves.
The delegation, led by Home Minister Rajnath Singh, is expected to reach out to a cross section of civil society to discuss various peace options to bring normalcy to Kashmir, which has suffered from violence and unrest since July 8, when a Hizbul Mujahdeen terrorist, Burhan Wani was killed by security forces.
Protesters have been clashing with security forces, resulting in the death of 68 persons including two policemen and the deaths of thousands of local Kashmiri youths. The latest incidence of a casualty was reported on Sunday, when an 18 year old was hit by a tear gas shell used by security agencies to disperse a crowd in downtown Srinagar.
