Detained Kashmir netas have access to TV, mobile

New Delhi: Political leaders, lodged at Srinagar’s MLA hostel after the abrogation of Article 370, were allowed to have television sets in some rooms along with set-top boxes. They can also meet their families 2-3 times a week, government sources said.

MLAs and other political workers from National Conference (NC), People’s Democratic Party (PDP), among others, were shifted to the MLA hostel from Centaur jail at Dal Lake last month, as it lacked proper heating facilities.
