Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act 2019

The Jammu and Kashmir Reorganization Act of 2019 reorganized the former state of Jammu and Kashmir into two separate Union Territories: Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh. The Act revoked the special autonomous status previously granted under Article 370, allowing these regions to be directly governed by the central government. This change aimed to integrate the region more fully into India, improve governance, and promote economic development. The act also redefined legislative structures and administrative arrangements for these Union Territories, altering their political landscape and governance frameworks.
