Srinagar, Aug 15: Omar Abdullah on Friday become the first elected chief minister in eight years to unfurl the national flag and preside over the main Independence Day function at Bakshi stadium in Jammu and Kashmir\u2019s Srinagar.
\nPDP president Mehbooba Mufti was the last chief minister to preside over the Independence Day function here in 2017.
\nThe PDP-BJP coalition government fell after the saffron party withdrew support to its local partner in June 2018, leading to imposition of Governor\u2019s rule in the erstwhile state.
\nThere was no elected government till Jammu and Kashmir was reorganized into two union territories in August 2019 following reading down of Article 370 that gave special status to the erstwhile state within the Indian constitution.
\nWhile Governor unfurled the National flag on Independence Day and Republic Day functions in 2018 and 2019, the honours were done by the Lieutenant Governor from 2020 to 2024.
\nAssembly elections were held in Jammu and Kashmir towards end of last year, leading to Abdullah becoming the first chief minister of the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir.
\nAbdullah unfurled the tricolour at the Bakshi stadium and was provided a guard of honour before he inspected the contingents taking part in the parade.
\nHe later took salute as contingents from various wings of Jammu and Kashmir police, Central Armed Paramilitary Forces and school children marched past the podium.
\nThe cabinet colleagues of Abdullah presided over the independence day functions at winter capital Jammu and other important district headquarters of the union territory.
\nThe cultural programme, one of the main attractions of the independence day function, was cancelled by the chief minister this year as a mark of respect to the persons who lost their lives in the Kishtwar flash floods on Thursday.<\/p>\n
