Explaining the reasons behind the restrictions imposed in the light of the important constitutional changes that were made in relation to Jammu &amp; Kashmir in August, Kansal said that a number of restrictions were imposed from 4th in order to prevent externally-aided terrorists from disturbing peace and inflicting casualties on innocent citizens.</span><br />'' <br />'' <span style="color: #222222;">The move comes barely days after the Centre issued an advisory opening the valley for tourists. Earlier, Schools were re-opened followed by Colleges and landline phones were made fully operational. Since 16 August, there has been a gradual removal of the restrictions that were imposed and by the first week of September, most restrictions were removed.&nbsp;</span><br />'' <br />'' <span style="color: #222222;">Barring 8-10 Police Stations, movement restrictions have been completely removed. Over 99% of the area of Jammu &amp; Kashmir has no restrictions on movement. The mobile services in Jammu and Kashmir were shut down on August 5 after the Centre announced scrapping of Article 370 of the Constitution. &nbsp; &nbsp;</span><br />'' <br />'' <span style="color: #222222;">In Jammu, the communication system was restored within days of the blockade and even mobile Internet was started around mid-August.
