Seven Years Since Article 370: Development, Tourism And The Continuing Statehood Debate

Seven years after the abrogation of Article 370, Jammu and Kashmir stands at the centre of a renewed national debate. The region has witnessed major infrastructure development, expanding tourism, improved connectivity and new economic opportunities, while demands for the restoration of statehood and political rights continue. The completion of the Udhampur–Srinagar–Baramulla Rail Link, including the Chenab Rail Bridge, has become a symbol of the region's transformation, even as contrasting narratives continue to emerge across the Line of Control.
