The government of Indian-administered Kashmir has said it will revoke its decision to transfer land to a body that manages an important Hindu shrine.
News that the Amarnath Shrine Board was to get the forest land sparked days of protests by the area's Muslim majority.
Three people were killed and hundreds injured, including police officers.
The protests were the among the biggest in the disputed Himalayan region for years, and widened to focus on pro-independence demands.
