Prime Minister Narendra Modi has marked seven years since the abrogation of Jammu and Kashmir’s special status by highlighting what he described as significant transformation across the region. His remarks focused on development and changes since the constitutional shift.
Modi said Jammu and Kashmir has recorded major improvements in infrastructure, presenting these changes as part of a broader development process. The prime minister also pointed to expanded opportunities for residents in education and healthcare.
The anniversary statement comes as the government continues to frame the post-Article 370 period around increased access to public services and new development opportunities. Modi’s comments emphasised the region’s progress and the changes he said have taken place over the past seven years.
The abrogation of special status remains a significant political issue in India, while the government’s latest message centres on Jammu and Kashmir’s infrastructure and social-sector development.
