People continue to stay away from businesses, educational institutions and offices. Public transport is also off the roads. Prepaid mobile and internet services still remain snapped.

The level of Indian government's strictness towards internet shutdown can be gauged from the fact that police registered an FIR against Huma Parveen, an Aligarh Muslim University Professor, and her husband, who lives in Kashmir valley, for just posting comments on social media about the agony of being disconnected in occupied Kashmir.

The FIR says that Huma posted her comments on Facebook, which said that losing contact was really dangerous and painful.

Professor Huma Parveen in a media interview expressed shock over the registration of the case saying that she was not able to contact her husband and a young daughter in the Valley since the imposition of clampdown on 5th August. She said that her emotions of losing connection with family can't be described in words.
