After decades of waiting, West Pakistan refugees, Valmikis, and Gurkhas in Jammu and Kashmir finally exercised their right to vote in the Assembly elections. The abrogation of Articles 370 and 35-A granted them domicile status, making them natives of J&K and allowing them to participate in the electoral process. This historic event marks a significant milestone for these communities, restoring their rights and allowing them to actively contribute to the future of Jammu and Kashmir.
