Kashmir in lockdown after autonomy scrapped

Indian-administered Kashmir - a region on the border between two nuclear power states, Pakistan and India - remains locked down a day after it was stripped of a special status that gave it significant autonomy.

Telephone networks and the internet, which were cut off on Sunday evening, are yet to be restored and there is a heavy military presence on the streets.

Basharat Peer, a Kashmiri journalist, has just come back from the state.
