Article 370 of the Indian Constitution, which granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir, was abrogated on August 5, 2019. This action effectively revoked the special privileges and autonomy that the state of Jammu and Kashmir had under the Constitution of India. The government passed a presidential order and a resolution in Parliament, leading to the reorganization of Jammu and Kashmir into two Union Territories—Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh.

​Article 370: This article granted Jammu and Kashmir autonomy in all matters except defense, foreign affairs, finance, and communications. It also allowed the state to have its own constitution.
