The ongoing unrest in Kashmir, triggered by the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani in an encounter with security forces in July, has affected the education as schools, colleges and other educational institutions continued to remain shut in the Valley.
The government has decided to hold board examinations as per the schedule next month, drawing criticism from students and parents who accused it of being insensitive to lack of academic activity due to shutdown.
The unrest, which began a day after Wani was killed in an encounter in south Kashmir on July 8, has left 84 people, including two cops, dead and several thousand injured.
Meanwhile, the police official said there were no restrictions on the movement of people anywhere in Kashmir.
Security forces have been deployed in strength at various spots prone to protests and street violence, the official said, adding forces have also been deployed in some areas to instill a sense of security among the people so that they can carry out their day-to-day activities without fear.
