SRINAGAR — The President’s rule has been revoked in Jammu and Kashmir, according to an official order by the Ministry of Home Affairs that paves the way for local government formation in the Union Territory.
The MHA revoked its earlier order of October 31, 2019, relating to the imposition of President’s Rule in the region. The latest order dated October 13, 2024, revoked its 5-year-old order.
With the execution of this order, the new government led by Omar Abdullah has officially got a nod to be sworn in in the upcoming week.
“The order dated the 31st October, 2019 in relation to the Union territory of Jammu and Kashmir shall stand revoked immediately before the appointment of the Chief Minister under section 54 of the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019,” MHA said in the order.
On August 5, 2019, the erstwhile State of Jammu and Kashmir was divided into two — J-K and Ladakh — both of which were designated as Union Territories. The government had abrogated Article 370 which gave special status to the region, in a historic move.
