Specially-abled students from two schools in Srinagar performed the national anthem in sign language on Independence Day, marking a first of its kind event. The students, who were speech and hearing impaired, visually impaired, and specially-abled, were trained in Indian sign language and showcased their talent and commitment to the nation. The event was organized by the Jammu and Kashmir Department of Archives, Archaeology, and Museums to celebrate Independence Day and promote inclusivity.
The Supreme Court of India will hear a plea on August 14 regarding the restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir. The court had earlier upheld the revocation of Article 370, which granted special status to the region, and directed assembly elections by September 2024 and statehood restoration "at the earliest" [1].The plea, filed by Zahoor Ahmad Bhat and Khurshaid Ahmad Malik, argues that the delay in restoring statehood is causing a reduction in democratically elected governance and a grave violation of federalism [1]. The assembly elections and the Lok Sabha polls were conducted peacefully in Jammu and Kashmir without any security concerns [1]. Despite the court's directions, the Centre has not provided a timeline for the restoration of statehood [1].
The non-restoration of statehood would result in a lesser form of elected democratic government for the state, given the legislative assembly results declared on October 8, 2024 [1]. Jammu and Kashmir has been operated as a Union Territory for almost five years, causing impediments to its development and affecting the democratic rights of its citizens [1].
The Supreme Court's decision to revoke Article 370 was based on the provision being a temporary measure and the absence of the Constituent Assembly of the erstwhile state whose term expired in 1957 [1].
