 I used to work with Kashmir Image daily newspaper and I used to cover Pulwama and Chopin district of Kashmir Valley but since the abrogation of Article 370 and 35A, I have not even filed a single story because of the internet blockade, I have not filed a single story, so I have lost my job. I remember sending my first story to a friend who went to Delhi on the 6th of August and that was the first day of the internet ban, the second day of the internet ban probably and since then it has been the same, the government set up a media fashion centre for 304 journalists which actually doesn't help because the way a journalist uses internet is not restricted to sending or receiving mails it actually involves a lot of research, reading a lot of news, reading a lot of reportage, accessing government reports and accessing all the other happenings around the world so it's in order to shape up a story or maybe explore various angles for a story. I want to leave you with the good news story of the day and the good news story of the day is 105 days after abrogation of Article 370 and the complete integration of Jammu Kashmir and Ladakh with the rest of the country so Ladakh and Jammu life was back to normal much earlier, now that normalcy seems to be returning to the Kashmir Valley too but the people who were not happy with the happy future of Kashmir, they were constantly making a scene in the country they were saying that after this step of the Indian government, the country will be on fire, the rivers of blood will flow along with the country, Kashmir will also be watered and it will be difficult for the Indian government to handle the country but today Jammu Kashmir has been away from Article 370 for 106 days and the country and Kashmir have completely calmed down, everything is in order If the government is saying that everything is normal now in Kashmir, then they should now basically lift the ban of internet We are working on a ration internet, which means that everybody gets a chunk of it for few minutes and then which also in my sense is very compromised in a sense because there is no privacy and we actually do not know whether our mails are safe or not, whether they are accessible to any person other than us or like what is happening with our mails or if somebody is reading those mails I mean there is a complete lack of privacy here and at the same time there is what happens among the journalists there is no sort of privacy because everyone looks at your screen, everyone looks at what you are doing, what you are filing So the kind of secrecy, the kind of privacy you would sort of ensure in your office or maybe in a personal space that is not here You cannot use social media here, you cannot tweet from here, you have to always be careful from writing whatever you want to write Particularly on your social media handles because you are using government internet And as soon as the administration is done, we will immediately think about this
