The decision to scrap the contentious Article 370 will allow the state to be divided into two Union territories wherein J&K, which will have a legislature, and Ladakh, which will be without a legislature. The special status of Kashmir will be ceased away, and J&K will be ruled by the same laws which apply to other states. This was done to stop and control the turmoil at J&K. This is a massive step under the Modi govt.
