Umar Abullah’s desperate craving for Jammu-Kashmir’s full-fledged statehood and the reality of Pahalgam and the new bill.

Its only recently the Government of India aborted the articles 370 and 35A on August 5th of 2019. Experts opine that the state cannot be given the full-fledged statehood as the time is not yet mellowed enough. Recent Pahalgam attacks clearly indicates Pakistan has very strong local sleeper cells working for Pakistan in Kashmir. Pakistan being the neighbour of Kasmir, has done everything in its capacity to destroy the state. Most imperatively, radicalising the local Kashmir youth and encouraging them to stone pelting and drug peddling.

Jammu and Kashmir has proposed a new Bill which makes two new divisions and 16 Districts. The Bill is called J & K Territorial Administrative Reorganisation Bill, 2026. An attempt to institutionalise a legislative mechanism for shaping administrative units.

Waheed Ur Rehman Para, MLA from PDP, has introduced this new Bill in the Assembly. The bill proposes to create two new divisions and 16 districts which would be the pavement for the structural response to the governance gaps in the Union Territory.

The Bill comes at a time, where the States are still not normalised and have not come out of the drastic change that happened on 5th of August, 2019.

The Bill proposes two new chore administrative divisions, Chenab Division based at Doda and Pir Panjal Division based at Rajouri. The implementation would end the long-time binary administration of Jammu and Kashmir.

The bill splits 16 new districts between Kashmir and Jammu geographical areas. In Kashmir it classifies Awantipora, Ashmuqam, Pahalgam, Beerwah, Sopore, Handwara Gurez Tangdhar-Karnah and Norabad.

Jammu consists of Nowshera, Banihal, Thatri, Akhnoor, Billawar, Kotranka and Mendhar.

The Bill intends the better governance and the equal attention to all the locations, which are isolated in present structure.

It should also be noted since the centre holds all the power in J&K, unlike other States in India, is it advisable to make the State autonomous with barely two years of Pahalgam tragic incident.

Amit Shah has not given full-state status to J & K; will he accept this proposal?

 The centre government is yet to respond on the matter.
