Newly Elected MLAs to Take Oath on October 21 in Srinagar Assembly Hall

Srinagar, Oct 19: In a significant political development, all newly elected Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) in Jammu and Kashmir are set to take their oath of office on October 21, 2024, at 2:00 PM in the Legislative Assembly Hall, Srinagar.

This ceremony marks a historic moment as it will be the 2nd oath-taking event in the region since the taking of oath by CM Omar Abdullah & his colleagues. The restoration of the assembly is being seen as a major step towards the return of full democratic governance in the region.

Top officials have confirmed that arrangements are being finalized for the event, with security measures heightened in and around Srinagar to ensure smooth proceedings.

Political observers expect key discussions on the new government’s agenda, including infrastructure projects, development schemes, and measures to enhance peace and stability in the region, to follow soon after the oath-taking.

This development comes at a time when there are growing expectations for the restoration of full statehood to Jammu and Kashmir, with announcements on this front likely by early November.
