The President’s rule in Jammu and Kashmir has been pulled back, according to an official order, clearing the road for the formation of a new government in the Union Territory.
This comes after National Conference leader Omar Abdullah met with Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Friday to stake claim to form a new government following the recently concluded Assembly polls in J&K.
The Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir was conducted for the first time after a gap of 10 years. President’s rule was imposed in the region after the PDP-BJP alliance crumbled on June 19, 2018.
In 2019, the government abrogated Article 370 of the Constitution and denominated the erstwhile state into Union Territory.
This is a developing story. It will be updated.
