Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha said that Jammu and Kashmir has seen a major shift after the abrogation of Article 370, claiming that terror, separatism and stone-pelting have given way to democracy, development and public participation.

Speaking on the occasion of the Union Territory Foundation Day, Sinha said that peace in Jammu and Kashmir was not bought but established. He said the region has moved towards greater democratic participation and progress.

Sinha’s remarks came as the Union Territory marked Foundation Day. He said the change in the region reflects a new phase of governance and public engagement.
