The move comes hours after the KPC announced it will hold elections to form a new body on February 15.
The J&K administration on Friday put in abeyance the registration of the Kashmir Press Club (KPC) as a society, just hours after the Valley's top journalists’ body announced its elections.
According to the Registrar of Society, J&K, the office of the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), CID, has put on hold the non-involvement and verification of character and antecedent certificate of members of the managing body of the KPC, also known as Aiwan-e-Sahafat.
"The re-registration granted (to the KPC) on December 29, 2021 is hereby kept in abeyance till the receipt of final report from Additional District Magistrate, Srinagar," the official order reads.
