Summary of After a decade, Kashmir to vote in historic elections
In Indian-administered Kashmir, elections are being held after a decade in a region marked by violence and unrest. With 13 parties in the fray, including regional heavyweights and the BJP, residents are focusing on issues like corruption and unemployment. The revocation of Article 370 in 2019 triggered a security clampdown and curfews, affecting residents' rights. Despite promises of peace and development, locals are still waiting for tangible benefits and have concerns about human rights violations. The election allows residents to voice their opinions on these changes.
