Union territory

Jammu and Ladakh are two New Union territories in India from August 05,2019 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Darkshiya Amarnath (talk • contribs) 12:28, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

So this article needs a map update. It is mostly India-based news outlets that are reporting in detail on the split at this point, and they almost exclusively print maps that acknowledge neither Pakistani control of Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan, nor Chinese control of its Hetian, Pishan, Ritu, Zhada, Ga'er, Shache, and Tashi Ku'ergan counties; subsuming both countries' territories into India's. Since Wikipedia mostly publishes maps that show the de facto China–India border and India–Pakistan border, we will need some neutral maps. This map on Myindia might be a good base. Without the addition of Jammu or Ladakh, or of Chinese and Pakistani territory, the Kashmir valley territory (insurgency region) is surprisingly small. 체셔🐈 (talk) 18:07, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
Incorrect. The Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Bill has not yet come into force. Until it comes into force by a separate government announcement, it will remain a state of India and should be presented as such on Wikipedia. — kashmīrī TALK 18:26, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
