The Home Ministry issued a notification today detailing the boundaries of the newly created Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh. The notification also results in a new political map of India. The order comes two days after the nation's newest union territories were formally created and received their first Lieutenant Governors; Girish Chandra Murmu, the former Union Expenditure Secretary, was sworn in as the first Lieutenant-Governor of Jammu and Kashmir and Radha Krishna Mathur, a former Defence Secretary, was sworn in as the first Lieutenant Governor of Ladakh.
