Worry Over Land Laws Mark 2nd Anniversary Of Article 370 Scrapping
NDTV
The government has released a 76-page booklet listing its achievements of the last two years, which include the repeal of 205 state laws and modification of 130 others
Disquiet and cynicism marks the second anniversary of the scrapping of Jammu and Kashmir's special status, even as the administration lists its achievements - mostly implementation of central laws and the repealing of those passed by the former state. Two years ago, on August 5, the centre scrapped Article 370 of the Constitution and bifurcated the ex-state into two union territories. Since then, people here are still trying to come to terms with the reality and impact of the new regime and changes in laws. Ajay Lakhotra, a Dalit activist from Jammu's Mud area, says changes in the laws have impacted several people in J&K, including those from his community.More Related News
