Reopening theatres in Kashmir a good move. But fine balance must be found to ensure security

ThePrint view on the most important issues.

   

The reopening of movie theatres in Kashmir, shuttered by jihadist violence in 1989, is a welcome step towards restoring normal life. Terrorists attacked theatres when they last reopened in 1998, and ensuring safety will be challenging. Oppressive security measures will be counterproductive, though, so a fine balance must be found.
