All central laws will now be applicable to new UTs of Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh

In a gazette notification, the Union Home Ministry has said that those Central laws, Ordinances and rules which were earlier not applicable to Jammu and Kashmir will henceforth be applicable to the UTs of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh. This comes as the state of Jammu and Kashmir was formally bifurcated into two Union Territories on Wednesday midnight. The notification further said certain Central laws and rules which were applicable to Jammu and Kashmir earlier would continue to be made applicable to the two newly-created UTs.
