Vacant govt posts in J&k, Ladakh will be filled: Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday asserted that all vacant government posts in Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh Union Territories will be filled soon.

He made the announcement in a special address to the nation two days after the Centre scrapped Article 370 of the Constitution and bifurcated Jammu and Kashmir into two Union Territories -- Jammu and Kashmir with an Assembly and Ladakh without one. 

Parliament on Tuesday gave its nod to bifurcate the region in two Union Territories. IANS
