People witnessed unannounced curfew-like situations even during day time.

The positive, changes witnessed in Jammu and Kashmir during the last ten years were no less than a dream come true.
Stones that were hurled at police and security personnel were being now used for building a new Kashmir.
The PM was addressing his first public rally in connection with the state assembly elections to be held on September 18.
This election was going to decide the fate of Jammu and Kashmir.
