Article 370: Army chief Bipin Rawat to visit J&K on August 30

Abrogation of Article 370

On August 5, India abrogated Article 370 of Constitution that provided special status to Jammu and Kashmir. Indian Parliament also bifurcated state into two Union Territories -- Jammu Kashmir, and Lakh. Reacting to India's decision, Pakistan expelled Indian High Commissioner soon after deciding to downgre diplomatic ties with New Delhi. India has categorically told international community that its move to scrap Article 370 of Constitution is its internal matter and has also vised Pakistan to accept reality. As a preventive measure, Centre also placed leers in Kashmir - Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti into detention, and ordered communication backout and curfew was imposed. However after a week, several communication facilities were resumed. 23 days after abrogation, Centre claims that situtaion is rmal, however some restrictions in valley are still in place.
