As many as 34 people from outside Jammu and Kashmir have bought properties in the Union Territory after abrogation of Article 370, quoting Union Minister of State for Home Nityanand Rai PTI reported.
The Article 370, which gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir and also barred people from outside to acquire properties, was abrogated on August 5, 2019 and the erstwhile state was bifurcated into two Union Territories Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.
“As per the information provided by the government of Jammu and Kashmir, 34 people from outside the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir have bought properties in the UT of J&K after abrogation of Article 370,” he said replying to a written question.
