New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to chair an all-party meet with leaders of Jammu and Kashmir next week, sources said on Saturday.

This comes after Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir Manoj Sinha held a meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday at the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) in the national capital. The agenda of the meeting between Sinha and Shah was developmental issues and the current situation of the Union Territory, the official sources had said.

In August 2019, the Centre repealed Article 370, which granted Jammu and Kashmir special status and divided the state into two union territories: Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.
The government notified the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act on August 9, 2019, which paved the way for the creation of two Union Territories – Jammu and Kashmir, which will have a legislature and Ladakh, without it.
The Act states that the number of seats in the Legislative Assembly of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir will increase from 107 to 114, with the Election Commission deciding on constituency delimitation.
