On Friday Section 144 of CrPC has been lifted in Jammu. From August 10, 2019, i.e. Saturday, all schools, colleges, and academic institutions that are closed can resume functioning normally, as per the order.
Ahead of the festival of Eid al-Adha, lifting of section 144 of CrPC is a major relief to the people of Jammu as it prohibits an assembly of more than four people.
