NEW DELHI: The second part of the Parliament's
Budget session begins on Monday. With the Covid-19 situation easing, both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha will have simultaneous sittings from 11 am, instead of the two separate shifts during the first part of the budget session from January 29 to February 11.
On top of the government's agenda would be getting Parliament's approval to the budgetary proposals and presentation of the budget for the Union Territory of Jammu and
Kashmir.
The government has also listed the Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) Order (Amendment) Bill for consideration and passing in the Lok Sabha.
The session is scheduled to end on April 8 after passing the Budget and dealing with other financial business.
The session is likely to see the Centre bringing a new bill for the unification of three municipal corporations in Delhi, which AAP and other parties are likely to oppose.
The Opposition will also try to corner the government on a range of issues, including rising unemployment, a reduction in the interest rate on employees' provident fund and the evacuation of Indians stranded in war-hit Ukraine.
