Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh: the two union territories made by the Reorganisation Act

Background

The Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019 reorganised the former State of Jammu and Kashmir into two union territories. The Ministry of Home Affairs records the outcome as "Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir with legislature, and Union Territory of Ladakh without Legislature", and states that the Act formally came into force on 31st October, 2019.
At its creation the new Union Territory of Ladakh consisted of the two districts of Kargil and Leh, as the Ministry's release on the maps of the two union territories records. The rest of the former State of Jammu and Kashmir is in the new Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir.
In 1947 the former State had 14 districts; by 2019 the areas of these 14 districts had been reorganised into 28 districts. Kargil district was carved out from the area of Leh and Ladakh district. The maps of the two new union territories were prepared by Survey General of India.
The Union Territory of Ladakh is administered by a Lieutenant Governor; its first Lieutenant Governor was administered the oath of office by the Chief Justice of the High Court of Jammu and Kashmir on 31 October 2019.
For the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir the Delimitation Commission's final order provides 90 Assembly Constituencies, of which 43 will be part of Jammu region and 47 for Kashmir region. 9 ACs have been reserved for STs and 07 for SCs, the first time seats were reserved for Scheduled Tribes there.
There are five Parliamentary Constituencies in the Union Territory, and after the delimitation each Parliamentary Constituency has an equal number of 18 Assembly Constituencies.
