FILE - In this Aug. 9, 2019, file photo, an Indian national flag, left, flies next to a Jammu and Kashmir state flag on the government secretariat building in Srinagar, Indian controlled Kashmir. India on Thursday, Oct. 31, 2019 formally implemented legislation approved by its Parliament in early August that removes Indian-controlled Kashmir's semi-autonomous status and begins direct federal rule of the disputed area amid a harsh security lockdown and widespread public disenchantment. The most visible changes are the absence of Kashmir's own flag and constitution, which were eliminated as part of the region's new status. The Kashmiri flag, a symbol of its semi-autonomy, had always fluttered alongside India's national flag at the main government secretariat. (AP Photo/Dar Yasin, File)
