The situation can escalate quickly and there could be a lot of violent riots, given the history.

I personally think these things are justified if you really know the on ground situation.

The shutdowns are mostly in Jammu/Kashmir

The majority of shutdowns in India have historically occurred in Jammu and Kashmir, a region at the center of a decades-long dispute between India, Pakistan, and China. In August 2019, it experienced 552 consecutive days of internet blackout, the world’s longest shutdown in history.

  As expected.
  
  The situation has really improved since last 2 years. Hopefully peace will come back to the valley.
