The area shown by red color between Pakistan occupied Kashmir and area occupied by China is “Siachen”.

Therefore, this region is very important. Because if Siachen goes out of our hands. Both these areas will combine and expand. Thus, it will create threat for us.

The area shown by orange color is a state of India that is Jammu & Kashmir. In addition there are 22 districts in total.

This was an overview of J&K. Now I am going to show you

Now, it has been decided that Leh and Kargil will be combined. In order to make a new Union Territory whose name will be “Ladakh”.

LEH + KARGIL => LADAKH (New Union Territory)

Where Leh is district of J&K and Ladakh is Mountain Range. Most importantly, it will be Standalone Union Territory.

And rest 20 districts will be combined to make new union territory named as Jammu & Kashmir.

Anantnag + Bandipora + Baramulla + Budgam + Doda + Ganderbal Jammu + Kathua + Kishtwar + Kulgam + Kupwara + Poonch + Pulwama +Rajouri + Ramban + Reasi + Samba + Shopian + Srinagar+ Udhampur => Jammu & Kashmir

Now Jammu & Kashmir is not a state. Its now bifurcated into two different Union Territories.

  1. Union territory : Jammu & Kashmir
  2. Union Territory : Ladakh

Earlier India had 29 states and 7 Union Territories. But now there are 28 states and 9 Union Territories.

An important information – New map of India

Among the 2 Union Territories,

  • one will be with legislature and
  • another will be without legislature.

With Legislature :

It means the union territory will have legislative assembly (Vidhan Sabha).

If we talk about India, though there were 7 Union Territories. But all Union Territories don’t have Chief Minister at all. But Delhi and Puducherry have CM because they have legislative assembly.

Chief Minister of Delhi : Arvind Kejriwal

Chief Minister of Puducherry : Velu Narayanasamy

So Union Territory : Jammu & Kashmir will have legislature. In other words just like earlier. CM was appointed for state : Jammu & Kashmir. Similarly Union Territory : Jammu & Kashmir will have CM.

But Union Territory : Ladakh will be without legislature. So the question arises.

Who will control Ladakh ? (New map of India)

So the answer is Governor which we call Lieutenant Governor. Who controls other Union Territories. Such as :

  • Lakshwadeep,
  • Andaman & Nicobar, etc.

I have mentioned all the important and informative facts here. So I hope you liked this. If yes, share this with your friends.
