New Delhi/Jammu, Jan 9: Governor's Rule was on Saturday imposed in Jammu and Kashmir, which is without a government following the death of Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed. "Governor's Rule has been imposed in the State of Jammu and Kashmir," said a union home ministry statement.

Consequent to Sayeed's death, "the process to form a new government had commenced and intimations were still awaited as to the respective positions of the PDP and the BJP. "Considering the likelihood of some more time being taken, with the approval of the President, Governor's Rule was imposed with effect from January 8, 2016 under Article 92 (1) of the Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir," the spokesman added.
