The streets of Srinagar ring with a stony silence with empty roads and shops shut down on the first anniversary of the revocation of Article 370.
With minimum people out on the streets, a pandemic, as well as the loss of special status and statehood, Kashmir is eerily quiet, since 4th August and today on 5th August 2020.
