Autumn session of State Assembly begins from Friday
SHILLONG: The much-awaited judicial inquiry report and the related action taken report of the infamous Shillong jail break will be tabled during the Autumn session of the Meghalaya Legislative Assembly beginning from Friday.
The preparation and tabling of the judicial inquiry report on the Shillong jail break took a very long time considering the fact that the incident in which seven under trial prisoners (UTPs), including Fullmoon Dhar, escaped from jail in 2009 had created a lot of sensation and suspense.
The first day of the session of the Meghalaya Legislative Assembly, meanwhile, is allotted for Government Business and the Speaker will announce the report of the Business Advisory Committee.
The Speaker will also announce the names of the members nominated by him for the panel of the chairman followed by laying of ordinances, orders, notifications, reports, rules and regulations.
Supplementary demands for grants and supplementary appropriation for the year 2013-14 would also be presented. Government bills, if any, would also be introduced on the first day and the session will end with obituary reference.
The House will re-assemble on October 7 which has again been slated for Government business.
Private members’ business has been scheduled for October 8 and motions, resolutions and bills (if any) would be moved.
On October 9, voting on supplementary demands would be held up to 1.30 pm and will be followed by introduction, consideration and passing of the Meghalaya Appropriation (NO III) Bill, 2013.
Private members’ business and moving of pending motions, resolutions and bills (if any) would continue the next day.
The House will then go on a long break and meet again only on October 21 when President Pranab Mukherjee will address the legislators in the State Assembly.
