Jammu, April 6 -- The second phase of the ongoing budget session of the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly, resuming on Monday after a 12-day recess, is poised to be contentious. Legislators from both the ruling coalition and the opposition are gearing up to introduce a slew of resolutions during the brief session, setting the stage for heated debates.

Members of the ruling coalition are contemplating a resolution to condemn the recent decision by the Lieutenant Governor to transfer 48 Jammu and Kashmir Administration Services (JKAS) officers, a move they view as an attempt to undermine the authority of the elected government. Sources indicate that the coalition MLAs will finalize their strategy following internal consultations.
