'Infrastructure Expanded, Opportunities Grown': PM Modi Marks 7 Yrs of Article 370 Abrogation

Modi said the 2019 constitutional changes expanded rights and opportunities, while the Centre cited gains in infrastructure, tourism and cultural recognition.

  • On Wednesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi marked seven years since the repeal of Article 370, describing the August 5, 2019, constitutional changes as the beginning of a "decisive new chapter" for Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.
  • This year's anniversary holds additional significance as it coincides with the 125th birth anniversary of Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee, whose vision of national unity the Centre says was realized when it ended Jammu and Kashmir's special status in 2019.
  • Prime Minister Modi noted that the full application of the Indian Constitution empowered marginalized communities and women, while infrastructure expanded in education, healthcare, and entrepreneurship since the constitutional overhaul.
  • The Centre highlighted tourism growth, reporting more than 50 lakh devotees visited the Vaishno Devi shrine this year, with over four lakh pilgrims completing the Amarnath Yatra alongside international recognition for Srinagar's local crafts.
  • Defence Minister Rajnath Singh stated on Wednesday that the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35 ushered in a "new era of peace, progress and equal opportunity" for Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.
