Jammu, Mar 5: Member legislative Assembly Waheed Parra on Tuesday demanded the restoration of public holidays on July 31 and December 5 in Jammu and Kashmir.
Speaking in the J&K Assembly Waheed as per news agency JKNS urged the government to transfer Kashmiri youth, currently imprisoned in jails outside the Union Territory, to local prisons.
“The holidays on July 31 and December 5 should be restored. Also, Kashmiri youth detained outside J&K must be shifted back to local jails so that their families don’t suffer,” Parra said, as per news agency JKNS.
