Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir

The Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir is a region in northern India that was formerly a state but was reorganized in October 2019. It comprises two districts, Jammu and Kashmir, along with Ladakh. As a Union Territory, it is directly governed by the central government of India, with a Lieutenant Governor appointed to oversee administration.
