Nasir Aslam Wani Appointed CM’s Advisor

Jammu: The Jammu and Kashmir Government has appointed Nasir Aslam Wani as the Advisor to the Chief Minister Omar Abdullah.
Earlier Omar took oath as the chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir, heading the first elected government in the union territory since 2019 when its special status was revoked.
As Jammu and Kashmir turned another page in its troubled history, the 54-year-old was sworn in along with five other ministers, three from Jammu region and two from the Kashmir Valley. The effort towards regional balance within the administration was also reflected in his choice of deputy chief minister — Surender Choudhary from Jammu region’s Nowshera constituency.
The Congress, a member of the pre-poll alliance with the NC, has decided not to take up any ministerial positions in the new government as of now. The new Jammu and Kashmir government, which ends six years of direct central rule, can have up to nine ministers.
