J&K Civil Administration on Sunday issued an important advisory for residents of J&K after the central government imposed restrictions under Section 144 of Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) in Doda, Srinagar and several other districts of Jammu and Kashmir on Monday. The Parliament on Tuesday passed a bill to reorganize Jammu and Kashmir into two union territories and a resolution to repeal controversial Article 370.

"There was peace in Jammu and Kashmir post the abrogation of Article 370 and 35A. Section 144 will be lifted within a week to ten days and that there will be normalcy in the Valley soon.
