President's rule was imposed on Jammu and Kashmir on Friday.

President Pranab Mukherjee approved the recommendation of J & K Governor N. N. Vohra as deadlock continued in the State over formation of the new government after voters handed a fractured verdict in assembly elections, government sources said here.

Caretaker Chief Minister Omar Abdullah had requested the Governor on Thursday to relieve him of his duties. After the hung verdict in assembly polls on December 23, the State has not witnessed installation of a newly elected government on account of hung verdict and talks remaining elusive between the PDP and the BJP.
