Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha said on August 6 that the era of separatist and terror organisations disrupting normal life in the Valley on Pakistan's prodding has been relegated to pages of history, and development and peace are the buzzword here four years after the abrogation of Article 370.
In interaction with a group of journalists, Mr. Sinha said it is now entirely up to the Election Commission to take a call on holding Assembly elections in the Union Territory after the completion of the delimitation exercise and revision of electoral rolls.
“J-K administration will follow what the Election Commission of India decides,” he said while noting that over 32,000 elected representatives of various local bodies are very much part of the decision-making process in the UT.
