JAMMU: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today inaugurated a three-day Orientation Programme for the elected members of the Legislative Assembly of Jammu & Kashmir.

In his inaugural address, the Chief Minister appreciated the Speaker of the J&K Legislative Assembly for meticulously planning the programme.

Deputy Chairman of Rajya Sabha, Shri Harivansh, encouraged the MLAs to work diligently and understand legislative norms to ensure smooth functioning of the House.
