Detailed Solution

Jammu and Kashmir became a Union Territory of India in 2019.
Some regions of the Indian Union enjoy relatively little power. These areas are too small to become independent states or cannot be merged with existing states due to their distinct culture and ethnicity. Therefore, they are given the status of Union Territories. For example, Chandigarh, Jammu and Kashmir, and Lakshadweep do not have the power of states, and the central government has special powers in governing these areas. India has 8 Union Territories: Delhi, Andaman & Nicobar, Chandigarh, Dadra & Nagar Haveli, Daman & Diu, Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh, Lakshadweep, and Puducherry.
