In Jammu and Kashmir, as many as 64 Private Member Bills are listed for discussion in the Legislative Assembly today. An Akashvani Jammu correspondent reports that according to the business schedule circulated by the Assembly Secretariat, 64 bills have been scheduled for introduction in the House today. All eyes will be on NC MLA Tanvir Sadiq's bill, which seeks to renew leases for existing leaseholders. The bill is listed at serial number four and will be taken up for introduction if proceedings proceed smoothly. While most other private member bills are expected to either be opposed by the government or withdrawn by the members in charge, the government's position on Tanvir Sadiq's bill will be closely watched, particularly in light of the expiry of leases held by hoteliers in Gulmarg. The bill has been submitted to counter the impact of the Jammu and Kashmir Land Grants Rules, 2022. The new rules, unveiled by the LG-led administration in 2022, stipulate that all leases—except those that are currently in effect or have expired, including those granted under the Jammu and Kashmir Land Grants Rules, 1960, the Notified Area (All Development Authorities in the tourism sector) Land Grant Rules, 2007, or leases that expired or were determined prior to the commencement of these rules, or issued under these rules—shall not be renewed and will be considered null and void. Such leases, the rules state, will be put up for auction again.
