Give govt time to restore normalcy in J&K as situation 'very sensitive': SC

The MHA confirmed a protest in the Valley reported by some media outlets, but said no bullet was fired

The Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to pass any immediate direction to the Centre and the Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) government on a plea seeking lifting of all restrictions imposed after the abrogation of Article 370.

A three-judge Bench, headed by Justice Arun Mishra, hearing a petition filed by activist Tehseen Poonawalla, said it will wait for normalcy to return, and take up the matter after two weeks. The Bench said the situation was “very sensitive” and time should be given for bringing back normalcy in the region.
