SRINAGAR - Occupied Kashmir state assembly has been dissolved by the Indian government.
India s government has dissolved the occupied Kashmir state assembly in a sudden move that could lead to fresh elections and further turmoil in the disputed region. The move, which came after two rival local alliances both staked claims to form a government in the heavily-militarised region, was seen to strengthen the hand of the New Delhi government, which has ruled occupied Kashmir directly since June and is gearing up for next year s general election.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi s hand-picked governor said he dissolved the legislature late Wednesday in the absence of stable government in occupied Jammu and Kashmir, in India s far north.
