JAMMU &KASHMIR; LADAKH

The two Union territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh came into existence on National Unity Day from the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir which has now officially ceased to exist. The UT of Jammu and Kashmir will have a legislature like Puducherry with an elected legislative assembly and a chief minister. Ladakh, on the other hand, will be a UT without legislature like Chandigarh.

The Centre will be in direct control of the police and law and order in Jammu and Kashmir but land and other subjects will be under the purview of the elected government there.
