Watch: On Srinagar’s Streets, Universal Condemnation of 370 Move

The Centre may have hailed the move, but for the ordinary men and women of Srinagar, there is nothing to welcome in it.

The Wire‘s Siddharth Varadarajan travelled to Srinagar to report on how ordinary people in Kashmir have responded to the scrapping of Article 370 and the end of statehood for Jammu and Kashmir. Although the move is being hailed by the Central government as one that will bring about a spate of development in the region, the sentiment in Srinagar itself is quite different.
