Jammu, Apr 4 (IBNS): The three month-long Governor Rule in Jammu and Kashmir came to an end on Monday with the swearing in of Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti here in Jammu.
Governor N. N. Vohra issued a Proclamation on Monday to revoke the earlier one which was issued by him on Jan 9, 2016 to enforce the Governor’s Rule in the State.
The state was under the Governor Rule for three months since Jan 8 this year after the death of Mufti Mohammed Sayeed.
“The latter Proclamation was issued in exercise of the powers conferred on him under Section 92 of the Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir, whereby he had assumed all the functions of the Government of the State,” an official spokesperson said.
“Governor NN Vohra issued Proclamation brought to an end the period of Governor’s Rule in Jammu and Kashmir which had commenced with effect from Jan 8, 2016,” the spokesperson added.
