Jammu, November 13: The Jammu and Kashmir Cabinet is scheduled to meet on Friday at 3:30 pm under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to take a final decision on several proposals forwarded by different government departments.
Sources said the meeting assumes significance amid growing discontent among a section of National Conference legislators following the Cabinet expansion on October 27. Several MLAs have reportedly sought a comprehensive reshuffle, expressing concerns over ministerial representation and the functioning of the government.
The legislators had also called for the removal of the Chief Minister’s adviser, improved coordination between ministers and elected representatives, and time-bound implementation of the party’s election promises.
Amid these concerns, NC president Farooq Abdullah has initiated the formation of informal advisory groups of legislators for individual ministers. The proposed groups are expected to facilitate coordination between the party and the government.
Friday’s meeting will be the first Cabinet session since the Darbar Move shifted government offices to Jammu for the winter months.
The specific agenda and details of the proposals to be considered at the meeting were not immediately available.
