Jammu and Kashmir MLAs Feel Powerless in New Regime

In Jammu and Kashmir, the elected leaders called MLAs are feeling very powerless.

They say the government officials and the Lieutenant Governor have most of the power, and the MLAs can't do much to help their people.

For example, one MLA, Ali Mohammad Dar, tried to stop the demolition of some illegal brick kilns but was pushed away by officials.

MLAs also can't use their funds freely to help people in need.

They have to ask for permission from higher authorities, which takes a long time.

This makes it hard for them to keep their promises to the people who voted for them.

Some MLAs even had to use their own money to help their constituents.

They feel that the current system is not fair and that the people of Jammu and Kashmir are not getting the representation they deserve.
