JUST IN: India Supreme Court says the ongoing security crackdown in Kashmir should continue

India’s Supreme Court, which is reviewing a petition for the immediate withdrawal of severe government restrictions in Kashmir, has said that the security crackdown and communications blackout in the region should continue.

The bench said the situation in Kashmir was “sensitive” and that the government needed more time to tackle it.

“The situation is dynamic and changing every day,” Attorney General KK Venugopal said in the Supreme Court, according to legal reporting website Bar&Bench.

“We are reviewing the situation and lifting restrictions step by step,” he added.

It was not clear how long the restrictions would continue, with Venugopal saying it could take days or months.
