NEW DELHI - Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said it would take four months for Jammu and Kashmir to return to normal after his government stripped the state of its special status in August and imposed harsh restrictions.

Alongside the withdrawal on Aug 5 of constitutional provisions that gave Jammu and Kashmir more autonomy than any other Indian state, Mr Modi's government flooded the region with additional troops, and imposed curfew-like restrictions to keep a lid on protests. "Jammu Kashmir and Ladakh aren't just a piece of land for us," Mr Modi said, referring to the remote Buddhist enclave that borders China.

Despite the curbs, Kashmiris have come out on to the streets, and many shops and other commercial establishments in the Kashmir valley have remained mostly shuttered in protests against the withdrawal of the special status.
