Speaker Rampada Jamatia confirmed the session starts at 11 am. He noted the schedule avoids weekend breaks by skipping the middle of the week. While no formal bills are on the table yet, officials might drop some during the session.
Congress MLA Sudip Roy Barman already locked in a short-notice discussion regarding smart meters and electricity bills. Jamatia said the House has admitted the request, and other public interest notices could hit the floor before proceedings start. On the push for a paperless Assembly, the Speaker admitted the transition needs more time to iron out the bugs.
