J and K Assembly witness noisy scenes

Srinagar, Aug 2 (UNI) Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly today witnessed noisy scenes when the speaker Tara Chand did not allow opposition National Conference (NC) to raise the issue of water shortage in the city.

The NC members wanted to ask question on water shortage in the city during question hour on behalf of Shahjehan Dar who was not present in the house.

However, speaker did not allow them to raise any question on the subject since Mr Dar was not present in the house.

On this the NC members Ali Mohammad Sagar, Mubrak Gul and Mohammad Sayeed Akhoon, representing three down town constituencies were on their feet demanding that they be allowed to raise the issue.

The other members also joined them but the speaker ruled that since he took up the next question he could not allow the discussion on the question asked by a member who was absent in the house.

The NC members continued protest despite repeated directions from the chair to resume seats.

Later the order was restored in the house after NC members resumed their seats.
