Home Ministry to hold review meeting on Jammu and Kashmir situation today
Srinagar/New Delhi: For the first time after the Centre abrogated Article 370, the Union Home Ministry will on Tuesday hold a review meeting on Jammu and Kashmir's situation, media reports said.
The meeting will be chaired by the Home Secretary and other top government officials.
As per media reports, the meeting will focus on the administrative reorganisation of Jammu and Kashmir. The civic amenities in the valley will also be discussed.
The Narendra Modi government on August 5 scrapped Articles 370 and 35A to withdraw the special status which Jammu and Kashmir enjoyed since Independence.
Also the state has been bifurcated into two Union Territories- Jammu and Kashmir (with an assembly) and Ladakh (without an assembly).
The curfew, which was imposed across the valley prior to the Centre's historic move, is still in place but schools and offices are re-opened. The phones and internet connections have also been reactivated.
However, several Jammu and Kashmir leaders including former Chief Ministers- Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti- are still under detention. Before the scrapping of the Article 370, they were kept under house arrest and later were detained.
