SRINAGAR: Jammu and Kashmir Assembly Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather on Tuesday constituted a 9-member committee to finalise draft Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in the Legislative Assembly.

The committee has been formed under Rule 363 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly by speaker.

The committee has four members from NC including the Speaker, two from BJP and one each from Congress, CPI(M) and independent legislator. There is no member from PDP or other Valley-based opposition MLA.
