Srinagar, Sep 29: Although, Some major resolutions have been passed with introducing of critical bills but overall the proceedings have disappointed people for not addressing their main issues. Six days of Assembly Autumn Session witnessed, uproar, chaos and scuffle between legislators with no outcome of addressing the basic issues of common man, may it be rising unemployment, drinking water scarcity, despite frequent curtailments, burden of electricity bills and worst condition of approach roads to far flung areas including several town areas across the valley. “The present Government was voted to power in order to bring out people out of miseries by adressing the basic issues of survival faced due to financial strangulation, not a single promise made during election campaign have been fulfilled till now as the elected Government is close to complete its two years “,said a local resident Bilal Ahmed. Following the Autumn session of J&K Assembly from day first,

“The Pillar India” Observed the main outcomes which include,J&K Ease of Doing Business Bill, 2026 which is aimed at replacing permission-based controls with rule-based systems to simplify local business regulations followed by J&K Goods and Services Tax (Amendment) Bill, 2026,Decriminalization & Rationalization Measure which is legislative push to decriminalize minor technical offences to enhance ease of living besides J&K State Legislature Members’ Pension Amendment Bill which was later withdrawn by Chief Minister following opposition from BJP legislators. However, Statehood Resolution moved originally by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, demanding the urgent restoration of full statehood was successfully adopted by the House with the support of around 60 out of 90 legislators aimed heavy chaos and aggressive slogan-shouting by opposition BJP members, who ultimately staged a walkout.

The BJP objected to the resolution’s explicit references to previous assembly resolutions regarding autonomy (2000) and special status. Therefore,political observers and local media report a sense of “no profit” because daily ruckuses,disruptions and walkouts have wasted valuable session time. Over 33 Private Members’ Bills addressing tangible problems which include Job reservations,land rights, healthcare, education,daily wagers, and power tariffs have faced severe delays. Consequently, while the session has yielded major political policy resolutions, it has yet to pass definitive legislation delivering practical relief to everyday citizens.
