Restrictions on the Jammu leaders have also been lifted, NDTV quoted an official source as having said. National Conference leader Devender Rana also reportedly told the outlet that police had informed him of the lifting of restrictions.
The BDC elections, which supposedly necessitated the lifting of restrictions from Jammu leaders, have been announced in the midst of an ongoing clampdown on movement and communication in Jammu and Kashmir. The notification was issued on Tuesday for the election of chairpersons of BDCs in 310 blocks of Jammu and Kashmir, the first polls in the state since the Centre’s reading down of its special status on August 5.
