In an interview with Times of India, Malik cleared that clampdown would be relaxed but communication blackout will remain in place.

He added that we dont want to give that (communication) instrument to the enemy until things settle down.

“We will gradually open communication lines in a week or 10 days when everything will be alright,” Malik further said.
