i'm phil gallo welcome to the program india's prime minister asked proclaimed what he calls a new era for indian controlled kashmir following his decision to revoke the region's semi autonomous status in a t.v. address they said his government's action would free the region from terrorism and separatism pakistan disputes india's claim to the territory and has responded by suspending trade with. india and expanding the country's envoy however it ruled out military action a security lockdown in the region is now in its 4th day with hundreds of local politicians under arrest. these treats are usually thronging with traffic but since then he's decision to revoke to semi autonomous status of engine controlled kashmir army fatigues have replaced the colorful bustle of everyday life few civilians still venture from their homes. there is no one in sight on the roads . it doesn't look like a curfew people are imprisoned in their own homes because i feel like the situation in kashmir will get worse and this could continue for the next 4 or 5 months. i feel like kashmir is on the verge of burnin
