There were large prayer congregations at many places including Bandipora, Baramulla, Kupwara, Trehgam, Sopore, Kulgam and Pulwama. In Srinagar, however, reasonable restrictions were imposed on large gatherings in sensitive areas keeping in view the possibility of terrorists trying to disturb public order and peace. There were also large gatherings in masques in the Jammu region.<br />''<br />''There were some minor protests and isolated incidents of stone-pelting in a few places. Police handled these locally and dispersed the protesters. <br />''<br />''Restrictions imposed in Jammu and Kashmir last week were eased from Saturday onwards in a calibrated manner. Though restrictions on connectivity still continue, people are being facilitated to contact their relatives and children outside the state.
