The Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly was adjourned sine die on Wednesday, bringing the seven-day autumn session to an end.
The session, which began on September 24, saw discussions on a range of issues related to Jammu and Kashmir, including development, governance, employment, infrastructure and the restoration of statehood.
Several legislators raised issues concerning their constituencies and sought responses from the government on matters affecting the public. The proceedings also witnessed heated exchanges between the treasury and opposition benches over several issues.
One of the major developments during the session was the passage of a resolution calling for the restoration of full statehood to Jammu and Kashmir. Chief Minister Omar Abdullah moved the resolution, which was passed by voice vote following a discussion in the House.
BJP legislators opposed the resolution and staged protests before walking out of the Assembly ahead of the vote. The government maintained that restoration of statehood remained an important issue for Jammu and Kashmir.
Members also raised questions concerning security, public services, infrastructure and development. Ministers responded to questions and provided details about various government schemes and programmes.
With the scheduled business completed, Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather adjourned the House sine die, formally concluding the seven-day autumn session of the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly.
