The flag, which was hoisted along with the tricolour every day atop the civil secretariat, the seat of the government, was due to be removed on October 31 when the law bifurcating Jammu and Kashmir into two Union Territories came into effect. Later on August 9, President Ram Nath Kovind gave assent to the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019, bifurcating the state into two Union Territories, Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh.
