Significance of Upcoming Elections in Jammu and Kashmir

The announcement of Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir holds great importance, marking the first elections since 2014. The region has seen political tumult, including the dissolution of its last Assembly in 2018 and the revocation of Article 370, which stripped it of its special status. This upcoming electoral process aims to restore a political framework and provide the public with their elected representatives, which has been absent for years. With growing political restlessness, these elections are viewed as a crucial step towards re-establishing democracy in a region that has experienced significant upheaval.
