The four-day winter session of the eighth Delhi Legislative Assembly will begin with the address of Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena at 11 am on Monday.
Subsequent sittings will start at 2 pm.
The Assembly will be completely paperless for the first time. All members of the house will use the National e-Vidhan Application (NeVA) through IPads installed at their respective tables in the House.
The Assembly completed its full transition to the NeVA during the monsoon session.
“The focus of the upcoming winter session will remain on ensuring smooth conduct of proceedings while preserving the decorum of the House,” said Speaker Vijender Gupta.
Ahead of the Session, Gupta today assessed the readiness and arrangements with senior officials.
The session is expected to see debates over a resolution regarding the authenticity of ‘Faansi Ghar’ within the Assembly premises.
It is to mention that the Business Advisory Committee met on Friday to consider the issue regarding the authenticity of the structure, which was inaugurated on August 9, 2022.
The matter, earlier examined by the Committee of Privileges, was taken up by the Business Advisory Committee to determine the appropriate procedural course for its consideration by the House.
Upon deliberation, the committee adopted a resolution, which shall be laid before the House, and is expected to receive criticism from the opposition AAP.
Moreover, the session is also expected to witness heated debates on air pollution and tabling of three Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) reports by the government.
Apart from deliberations on the rootcauses of the city’s persistent air pollution and a review of measures taken so far, the Rekha Gupta-led dispensation will present three CAG reports – audits on allegedly lavish renovation of former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal’s official bungalow, functioning of the Delhi Jal Board and the performance of Delhi Government-run universities during the AAP rule.
