Schools in Kashmir have been closed since August 5, when the Indian government announced the abrogation of Article 370. On August 18, the Jammu and Kashmir state government “threw open” the primary schools in the state after two weeks of shutdown. In Srinagar alone, it claimed that 190 such schools would resume operations.
