NC Challenges LG Sinha's Authority in J&K Governance
The National Conference (NC) and the Lieutenant Governor (LG) in Jammu and Kashmir are having a disagreement.
The LG says he's in charge of the police, and the elected government handles the other departments.
The NC is questioning the LG's actions, especially when the LG gave a job to a civilian's widow.
