Restrictions Eased in J&K's Doda After AAP MLA's Detention
In Doda, Jammu and Kashmir, the government has allowed shops to open for a few hours after restricting movement due to the arrest of an AAP leader, Mehraj Malik.
He was detained, leading to protests, so the authorities limited what people could do.
Now, they're easing up on these rules, letting shops open for six hours, which helps local people.
However, the internet is still turned off.
People are happy about the change but hope things will go back to normal soon.
Schools will reopen next week after safety checks.
Restrictions eased in Doda for six hours on Saturday.
The relaxation followed the detention of AAP MLA Mehraj Malik.
Police and civil administration consulted with civil society before easing restrictions.
Prohibitory orders under Section 163 of the BNSS remain in force.
Mobile and broadband internet services remain suspended.
