Omar Abdullah, in his first decision after being sworn in as the Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir for the second time, instructed the police not to create green corridors or stop traffic during his road travels. This move aims to prevent any inconvenience to the public.

In a tweet, Abdullah emphasized that there should be no aggressive gestures or excessive use of sirens, urging his newly appointed Cabinet ministers to adopt a similar approach. "I have spoken to the DG @JmuKmrPolice that there is to be no 'green corridor' or traffic stoppage when I move anywhere by road," he stated. He further added, "Our conduct must be people-friendly. We are here to serve the people and not to inconvenience them."

During his previous term as Chief Minister from 2009 to 2014, Abdullah set a precedent by directing his convoy to adhere to traffic signals.

Abdullah took oath as Chief Minister, marking the first elected government in Jammu and Kashmir in six years. Surinder Singh Choudhary, who notably defeated BJP chief Ravinder Raina, has been appointed as Deputy Chief Minister, ensuring representation from Jammu in the new government.

The Congress party chose not to join the new Cabinet at this time, citing its demand for the restoration of statehood for Jammu and Kashmir, a commitment made by the central government.

In the recent Assembly elections held after a decade, the National Conference-Congress alliance won 48 of the 90 Assembly seats. The National Conference emerged as the single largest party with 42 seats, while Congress secured six seats. Five MLAs took their oaths today, including Satish Sharma (Independent), Sakina Itoo, Javid Dar, Surinder Singh Choudhary, and Javid Rana (all from the National Conference). Four Cabinet posts remain vacant and will be filled in the future as the government expands.
