J&K MP Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi requests transfer of detained locals within J&K and release of those without trial, citing family visitation difficulties due to weather conditions.
MP Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi of Jammu and Kashmir's National Conference has urged Union Home Minister Amit Shah to release prisoners without trial and transfer those undergoing trials to jails within J&K. Mehdi argues that many young prisoners are being unfairly detained, and that their families struggle to visit them due to different weather conditions in Kashmir. The request follows changes in the region's special status in 2019, which is believed to have led to the detention of many locals outside J&K.
