Troubles hit Kashmir in recent times:
Incidents like encounters, the killing of journalist Shujaat Bukhari and army jawanas have disrupted normal life in the north Indian state.
Political conflict:
The government in Jammu and Kashmir toppled this week when the Bharatiya Janara Party withdrew from its alliance with the People's Democratic Party (PDP), headed by ex-CM Mehbooba Mufti.
Mufti resigned immediately, making way for President's Rule in the state.
