Ahead of the removal of the Jammu and Kashmir flag from the Civil Secretariat in Srinagar, the governor ’s administration had sent two teams of officers to study the working and systems of the Union Territories (UT). A team each is visiting Pondicherry and Delhi. They will submit their reports at the earliest.
Officials’ privy of the developments, however, insisted that there has been an exercise already done detailing how the systems would work under the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Bill of 2019 that Parliament passed on August 6. The bill divided Jammu and Kashmir into two UTs: Ladakh and Jammu and Kashmir. The two UTs will be operational from October 31, 2019, to coincide with the birth anniversary of Sardar Valabbhai Patel, India's first post-partition Home Minister. Unlike Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh will have no assembly and will be directly ruled by a Lieutenant Governor.
The parliament was enabled to redraw the boundaries of Jammu and Kashmir after the President invoked his rights under Article 370 and issued the Constitution (Application to Jammu and Kashmir) Order of 2019 on August 5 that scrapped The Constitution (Application to Jammu and Kashmir) Order of May 14, 1954. The 1954 Order that was considered the mother of the special status envisaged a proviso to Article 3 of the Constitution of India suggesting that “no Bill providing for increasing or diminishing the area of the State of Jammu and Kashmir or altering the name or boundary of that State shall be introduced in Parliament without the consent of the Legislature of that State”. As the Order was junked the Lok Sabha was empowered to redraw the borders under the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Bill of 2019.
