Union Home Minister Amit Shah claims the situation in Jammu and Kashmir has significantly improved following the abrogation of Article 370. Speaking in Gandhinagar, he highlighted the safe passage of tourists and new projects initiated across the region, attributing these changes to Prime Minister Modi's leadership.
