What we know
Jammu and Kashmir has been a Union Territory since August 2019, when the return of statehood was promised. Seven years later it is still pending.
An elected government has been in office since October 2024, but the Lt Governor controls the police and much of the administration.
Open questions
- Which powers sit with the elected government and which with the Lt Governor today?
- What steps and dates, if any, have been set out for restoring statehood?
- How has statehood been restored or granted to other territories in the past?
