Section 144 lifted in Jammu, Kashmir coming back to normalcy: Governor Satya Pal Malik zeenews.india.com

The situation in Jammu and Kashmir is peaceful and the newly formed union territory is gradually coming back to normalcy, said Governor Satya Pal Malik after taking stock of the situation. The BJP-led Narendra Modi government earlier this week scrapped Article 370, Article 35A and bifurcated Jammu and Kashmir into two Union Territories (UTs). President Ram Nath Kovind on Friday gave assent to the legislation that will come into existence on October 31.
