New Delhi: The Supreme Court of India on Thursday asked the Centre that how long does it intend to continue with the restrictions in Jammu and Kashmir after the abrogation of Article 370.

“You may impose restrictions, but you have to review your decisions. Do you?” the court added. The Solicitor-General for Jammu and Kashmir administration replied that 99 per cent restrictions were removed and it were being reviewed daily.
The court has posted the matter for hearing on November 5.
