Article 370 pleas in Supreme Court; Centre's J&K outreach; more

The Supreme Court on Tuesday will resume hearing on pleas challenging the legality of Article 370.

On November 21, the Centre had justified restrictions imposed in Jammu and Kashmir after the abrogation of provisions of Article 370 and said that due to the preventive steps taken, neither a single life was lost nor a single bullet fired.

Union minister Kiren Rijiju will go to Suchetgarh in Jammu on Tuesday and VK Singh is scheduled to visit Tikri in Udhampur.

The visit by the central ministers come following an initiative taken by Union Home Minister Amit Shah to spread awareness about the positive impact of abrogation of Article 370 provisions and the development measures taken by the government for the region.
