Elections held in Indian-administered Kashmir for first time in 10 years | DW News

Indian-administered Kashmir is holding elections, the first since India's Hindu-nationalist government stripped the region of its semi-autonomous status in 2019. It's also the first regional elections in a decade in the Muslim-majority region. Security is tight for the ballot. In a break with the past, separatists have decided not to boycott the vote. Most candidates are calling for Kashmir's semi-autonomous status to be reinstated. #kashmir #muslimmajority #hindu Chapter Breakdown 0:00 DW Correspondent Adil Bhat reports on elections from Srinigar, Kashmir 8:32 Anuradha Bhasin, Managing Editor, Kashmir Times, speaks about security concerns and high turnout in Kashmir elections Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/deutschewelleenglish?sub_confirmation=1 For more news go to: http://www.dw.com/en/ Follow DW on social media: ►Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deutschewellenews/ ►Twitter: https://twitter.com/dwnews ►Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dwnews ►Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/dwnews_hangout Für Videos in deutscher Sprache besuchen Sie: https://www.youtube.com/dwdeutsch
