Article 370 Case : Live Updates From Supreme Court [Day 13]

SG: The central sector scheme investment is 28400 crores. The investment proposals for other than central schemes is 78000 crores. Till date, the actual investment made is 2153 crores.

SG: In 2018, organised bandhs were 52- they are nil now.

SG: So far as statehood is concerned, I've already made a statement but that apart, the statement of Home Minister on floor of parliament - UT is a temporary thing, we're dealing with an extremely extraordinary situation.

SG: Those actions (to restore statehood of J&K) are initiated. I may give some instances how it is progressing to become a state. Because I'm unable to give exact (details).

SG: What affected the elections most was stone pelting and regular calls of bandh and hartals- hospitals, schools, every institution a common man is concerned with.

SG: In 2018, the stone pelting was 1767. It is nil (now), not just because of effective policing and security personnel but because of various steps such as gainfully employing youth etc. They were misled by secessionist forces.

SG: Law and order events- stone pelting etc reduced by 97.2%. These figures are all relevant for purpose of when to hold the elections. Security person casualty is reduced by 65.9%. These are factors agencies would take into consideration.

SG: The terrorist initiated instances are reduced by 45.2%. I'm comparing 2018 situation with 2023 situation. Infiltration reduced by 90.2%.

SG: Then there would be municipality elections and then there would be legislative assembly elections. It is a UT with legislature- except law and order and police they have...

SG: Leh elections are over. Kargil hill development council- the elections would be by the end of this month.

SG: There are three elections which are due. For the first time, the three tier panchayat raj system is introduced. First elections would be for panchayats. District development council elections have already taken place.

SG: The central government is ready for elections at any time. Till date updating of the voters list was going on- which is substantially over. Some part is remaining- that the Election Commission is doing.
