Section 144 to be lifted in Valley within week: Kishan Reddy

Minister of State for Home Affairs G Kishan Reddy on Saturday assured that Section 144 will be lifted soon in Jammu and Kashmir where it was in place after the abrogation of Article 370.

At many places, Section 144 has been relaxed in Jammu and Kashmir,” Reddy said at National Seminar on Cyber Security at Institute of Engineers here.

Parliament recently withdrew special status to the Jammu and Kashmir and also passed Jammu and Kashmir (Reorganization) Act 2019, reorganizing the state in two Union Territories–Jammu and Kashmir with Assembly and Ladakh without it.
