SRINAGAR: PDP president Mehbooba Mufti on Wednesday said the forthcoming assembly must hold discussions on the alleged abuse of the Public safety Act, and blow to tourism and the Union Territory’s horticulture industry.

She also sought to know why a key highway blocked since early days of the month had not been restored yet.

“The assembly should discuss the losses to the horticulture sector due to the closure of the highway. Omar Abdullah called Nitin Gadkari 20 days after the highway was closed. Why could the call not be made earlier?” Mufti asked.
