J&K budget session to begin on March 3

In Jammu and Kashmir, preparations are underway for the highly anticipated Budget Session of the Legislative Assembly, which is set to begin on March 3. 

The session will be inaugurated by Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha in Jammu, who is expected to address the members and present the government’s vision for the upcoming fiscal year. Extensive arrangements have been made to ensure the smooth conduct of the session. Security measures have been heightened around the legislative complex, and essential infrastructure upgrades are being completed to accommodate the participants. 

The session, which



will include key financial discussions and deliberations on the budget, is expected to be crucial for the Union Territory. The Budget Session comes at a time when the J&K administration is focusing on infrastructural development, welfare programs, and policies aimed at boosting economic growth in the Union Territory. 

The budget will reflect a continued focus on key sectors such as tourism, agriculture, and education. This marks the first budget presentation under the Omar Abdullah-led National Conference government since it assumed power on October 16, last year.
