The organisation called for a 12-hour total shutdown within Sadar Hills Kangpokpi from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday for the funeral services and appealed to the general public to cooperate. Parliament winter session Day 10 Fourteen MPs — one from the Rajya Sabha and the rest from the Lok Sabha — were suspended on Thursday for “misconduct” as they demanded a discussion on the security breach in the Lok Sabha. Though DMK’s S.R. Parthiban was also named and suspended as the 14th Lok Sabha member, the government withdrew his name after Congress MP Karti Chidambaram and former BSP MP Danish Ali pointed out that the DMK MP was not even present in the House and was away in Chennai. Stringent security arrangements for Delhi Assembly session in view of Parliament security breach The Delhi Assembly’s Winter Session will commence on Friday with stepped-up security arrangements, including thorough frisking and checking of pass holders for the visitors gallery, because of the security breach witnessed at the Parliament a day before, authorities said on Thursday.

Liquor deaths, sexual harassment likely to be top agenda during Haryana Assembly’s winter session Liquor deaths and sexual harassment of several schoolgirls in Jind and Kaithal will be on the Opposition’s agenda against the ruling BJP-JJP government in the Haryana Assembly’s winter session which is slated to begin on Friday.
