New Delhi: The winter session of Parliament has come to an end with both houses being adjourned sine die, a day ahead of its scheduled conclusion on December 23.
Rajya Sabha Chairman Venkaiah Naidu and Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla have decided to cut short the schedules of both the Houses considering the incessant protests of the Opposition. Despite that, the government has pulled off a fruitful winter session.
As far as the productivity is concerned, Lok Sabha's numbers stood at 82 per cent whereas Rajya Sabha's stood at 39 pc, which is below the halfway mark of the lower House.
In 18 sittings Lok Sabha utilised around 83 hours in getting 11 major bills passed that include farm laws repeal bill, Central Vigilance Commission (Amendment) bill, the election laws (amendment) bill, High Court Supreme Court judges (Amendment)Bill, and Delhi special police establishment (amendment) bill.
With 15 working days, the Rajya Sabha utilised 39 hours of business and passed 9 bills. Much of the time in the upper house was lost due to disruptions caused by opposition's protest.
