The Supreme Court (SC) on Monday allowed Congress leader and former Jammu and Kashmir CM Ghulam Nabi Azad to visit Jammu and Kashmir (J&K). The apex court has also asked Ghulam Nabi Azad to interact with the people, check on their welfare and file a ground report on the situation in Kashmir.

A bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi said Azad can visit four districts -- Srinagar, Jammu, Baramulla, Anantnag -- to meet people. The Supreme Court has also directed the Congress leader to not indulge in any political rally.
