The day’s proceedings will commence with the National Song, Vande Mataram, followed by a series of key events.
During Question Hour, members will pose starred questions, to which the respective authorities will provide replies. Unstarred questions will be laid on the table for future discussion.
Under Special Mention Rule 280, members will raise pressing matters with the Chair’s permission, facilitating discussions on important issues.
Moreover, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta will move a motion to elect nine members each for the Committee on Public Accounts, the Committee on Estimates, and the Committee on Government Undertakings.
