The Jammu and Kashmir government has decided to revoke its ban on Srinagar-based English daily Kashmir Reader and allow it to resume publication after shutting it down for three months.

“The newspaper had made a representation before the government seeking permission to resume its publication. The case was examined and the government was satisfied that there is no further need to disallow its publication,’’ Director Information, J&K government, Shahid Iqbal Choudhary told The Indian Express. “A formal order in this case will be issued in a day or two.”
