New Map Of India: This Is How New J And K, Ladakh Map Looks!

The Government has released a new political map of India after two new Union Territories- Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh came into existence on October 31, 2019. The new Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir has a total of 22 districts, while Ladakh has two districts.

The new political map of India shows three districts of Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) – Muzaffarabad, Mirpur and Punch as a part of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan, another Pakistan administered territory, as a part of Ladakh.
The move of including Pakistan-administered areas as a part of India’s geographical territory comes amidst protests by Pakistan and its ally China against India’s move to bifurcate J&K into two Union Territories.

The Indian Parliament had passed the proposal to withdraw the statehood of J&K on August 5. The new political map of India was released by the Ministry of Home Affairs on November 2, 2019.
