These restrictions have been in place ever since Narendra Modi-government decided to scrap provisions of Article 370, which gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir. The Parliament of India has also approved the bifuraction of the state of Jammu and Kashmir into two union territories.  Many parts of Jammu and Ladakh have been ree of any restrictions for a long time now. However, some violence-prone areas have been under restrictions.
