J&K Ends President's Rule: Soon to Have Democratically Elected Government

The central government has lifted the President’s Rule in Jammu and Kashmir on Sunday after the state's assembly elections had been completed and the results announced. This move has opened the doors for the formation of a democratically chosen government after a hiatus of six years. The Ministry of Home Affairs issued the official notification regarding the same.

Omar Abdullah, vice-president of the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference, recently met with Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha at the Raj Bhavan in Srinagar to stake a claim to form the new government.
