Description
Supporters of the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference celebrate as Indian-administered Kashmir elects its first government since being brought under New Delhi's direct control, with voters backing opposition parties to lead the region's national assembly. The results come five years after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi cancelled Kashmir's partial autonomy to control its affairs in 2019, a sudden move accompanied by mass arrests and a months-long communications blackout. "They snatched our democracy, they messed with our lives," says Mohd Ayoub Akhoon, one of those celebrating on the streets. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
