Indian officials say they are planning to establish cinemas in every district of the region, where tens of thousands have been killed in the armed conflict since 1989.

Police in New Delhi said they have filed a complaint against Nupur Sharma and others over her remarks on the Prophet Mohammed and for "inciting people on divisive lines" on social media.
Two suspected separatists and a paramilitary officer were killed in a gunfight on the outskirts of the southern Jammu city, while government forces killed another four in Malwah, a village northwest of Srinagar city.
Rebel attack in India-administered Kashmir’s main Srinagar city leaves one soldier dead, while four workers are wounded in two separate attacks, police say.

The family members of Mohammad Altaf Bhat and Mudassir Ahmed – both killed in a controversial armed encounter – had assembled in Srinagar, demanding the police hand over the bodies.
Mohammad Altaf Bhat was not affiliated with militants as claimed by the police who shot him in Srinagar on Monday, his niece Saima Bhat has said.
