Jammu and Kashmir, a region with a complex history and diverse socio-political dynamics, has been facing challenges regarding governance and political representation. The abrogation of Article 370 in 2019 had a profound impact on the region's political landscape, leading to the bifurcation of the state into two separate Union Territories – Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh. Subsequently, the political autonomy and statehood of Jammu and Kashmir were revoked, which resulted in the imposition of direct central rule.

Against this backdrop, the Forum for Human Rights has been actively observing and documenting the human rights situation in the region. Their recently released annual report raises a crucial demand for immediate assembly elections. The report highlights the significance of democratic representation and the need to restore political agency to the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
