Section 144 lifted from Jammu, valley returning to normalcy| Panchnama

Days after imposition of Section 144 and blocking of communication channels in the wake of Narendra Modi-led Central government's announcement of revoking Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir and bifurcation of state into two Union Territories (UTs), situation seems like coming back to normal in the Valley. After being confined to their homes for days, people in Kashmir offered Friday prayers in their local mosques as restrictions were eased for the purpose, officials said, adding the Valley was largely peaceful barring minor incidents of stone pelting in some areas.
