Jungle raj in Jammu and Kashmir ended on eve of 2020: Manoj Sinha

Amid tight security, J&K Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, in his Independence Day address in Srinagar, on Sunday said “Jungle Raj in the Union Territory (UT) has come to an end.” All I-Day functions passed off peacefully and the Internet and mobile services were not snapped, unlike in the past.

“Violence-free and successful District Development Council (DDC) polls in 2020 saw a record number of participation of people. With it, the 'Jungle Raj' in J&K has ended forever,” Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha said.

He praised the August 5, 2019 decision to revoke J&K's special constitutional position, saying “It has marked the new beginning in J&K”.
