The Indian government has revoked President's rule in Jammu and Kashmir, which had been in place since October 31, 2019. This decision paves the way for the formation of a new government in the union territory. The order was issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs and is expected to facilitate the appointment of a new Chief Minister under section 54 of the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019. The revocation of President's rule is part of a broader effort to restore normalcy and governance in the region. Jammu and Kashmir LG Manoj Sinha has been involved in discussions, and a Cabinet's note will be prepared by Monday to formalize the process.
