India has announced that it will be conducting local elections in the disputed region of Kashmir starting from September 18. This move comes five years after the Indian government revoked the autonomy of the region.
The decision to hold local polls in Kashmir is seen as a significant step towards restoring normalcy in the region, which has been marred by decades of conflict and political unrest. The move is also aimed at empowering the local population and strengthening democratic processes in the region.
