SRINAGAR: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha has summoned the Jammu & Kashmir Assembly from March 3 for the first budget presentation by the National Conference-led government.
According to a notice from the Legislative Assembly Secretariat, the LG has summoned the Assembly to convene on March 03.
“I, Manoj Sinha, Lieutenant Governor of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, in exercise of the powers conferred upon me under Section 18(1) of the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019, do hereby summon the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly to meet at Jammu on Monday, the 3rd day of March, 2025, at 10:00 AM,” reads the order issued by the LG.
The session will commence with the LG’s address to the MLAs on the same day at 10:00 AM.
“I, Manoj Sinha, Lieutenant Governor of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, under the provisions of Section 21(1) of the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019, call upon the Members of the Legislative Assembly for the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir to assemble in the Legislative Assembly Complex at Jammu on Monday, the 3rd day of March, 2025, at 10:00 AM to hear my address,” reads another order from the LG.
The cabinet, led by Omar Abdullah, recommended last week that the LG summon the assembly in the first week of March. However, this was objected to by Peoples Conference president Sajad Gani Lone, citing the holy month of Ramadhan.
According to the Legislative Assembly Secretariat, each MLA cannot submit more than ten starred and ten un-starred questions by or before February 10, 2025. Additionally, MLAs cannot submit more than three bills by or before February 10, 2025 and may submit a maximum of four resolutions by or before February 16, 2025. (KNO)
