BJP MLA protests inadequate waste management response in Jammu

In Jammu and Kashmir, BJP MLA Sham Lal Sharma walked out of the legislative assembly on Saturday. He was unhappy with the government's response about solid waste disposal in Kot Bhalwal, which is in his constituency. Sharma described the reply as "half-baked" and "incomplete." He said the government seemed not serious about the issue. During the question hour, he asked if solid waste was being dumped in Kot Bhalwal and what steps were being taken to move it to another location. Health and Education Minister Sakina Itoo responded by saying that Kot Bhalwal is being developed for proper waste management. She mentioned that the process will involve the National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India (NAFED). Despite this, Sharma remained dissatisfied. He felt the government's answer did not address his concerns.
