Restrictions have been reimposed in Srinagar today, a day after the government and the state police said the situation in Jammu and Kashmir was peaceful, sources said.

They said police vehicles were seen making announcements on loudspeakers asking people to return to their homes, and shopkeepers have been told to pull down their shutters.

The situation in Jammu and Kashmir is peaceful and no violence has been reported from anywhere in the state, the state police had tweeted on Saturday. "There has been no untoward incident barring minor stone-pelting which was dealt with on the spot and was nipped in the bud," Director General of Police Dilbagh Singh said.

He was asked about the situation in the state after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi told reporters in Delhi that the situation in the new Union Territory had deteriorated.

National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, who is camping in Jammu and Kashmir amid the lockdown, was on Saturday seen in a video talking with locals, in an apparent effort to show signs of normalcy.
