Srinagar, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah Thursday expressed hope that Jammu and Kashmir's Union Territory status is a temporary phase and that the central government fulfils its promise of restoring its statehood.

Hope UT status is temporary, Centre should restore statehood soon: Omar Abdullah

"It has been a little over two months since we came to power. It took us time to understand how the UT government works. We have been associated with the government earlier, but there is a vast difference between that form and the present form," Abdullah said at a media interaction at the Sher-i-Kashmir International Convention Centre here.

The chief minister said the start of the new government has been "decent" and that they "did not find much difficulty" in it.
