Jammu and Kashmir Assembly poll dates to be announced after Amarnath Yatra ends
Srinagar, June 4 (IBNS): The Election Commission of India has decided to consider holding the Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir later this year.
"The Commission will keep on regularly and on real time basis monitoring the situation in Jammu and Kashmir, taking inputs from all necessary quarters and after the conclusion of Amarnath Yatra will announce the election schedule for the conduct of Assembly election in Jammu and Kashmir," the poll body said.
Jammu and Kashmir had been under Governor's Rule since June 2018, when the BJP ended its alliance with Mehbooba Mufti's People's Democratic Party. President's Rule came into force in December.
The Amarnath pilgrimage, which starts this year on July 1, will end on August 15.
