Baramulla, May 12: The district administration of Baramulla has permitted the return of evacuees to six villages after the safe disposal of unexploded ordnances (UXOs) in Uri sector of Baramulla.

Officials informed the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), that 7 UXOs have been successfully neutralized in the villages of Kamalkote, Madhan, Gowhallan, Salamabad (Bijhama), Gangerhill, and Gawalta.
