Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said Article 370, which granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir and was abrogated in 2019, was the biggest hurdle in the development of the erstwhile state.

Modi also said that after the abrogation of Article 370, Jammu and Kashmir, which is now a Union Territory, has witnessed balanced development across regions and in all sectors.

A day ahead of his visit, the Prime Minister said that he has heard that a film on Article 370 is going to be released this week. The film will help people in getting “correct information”, Modi said.
