Telangana Assembly Monsoon Session all set to kickstart from Monday

Hyderabad: The Monsoon Session for Telangana Legislative Assembly is all set to kick-start from Monday, September 7. This comes at a time when COVID-19 cases in the state have crossed the 1.4 lakh mark.

To prevent the spread of COVID-19, all assembly members were tested on Sunday, including staffers. As per guidelines from the government, only those who test negative for the virus will be allowed to participate in the assembly session.

The House will conduct debates on issues ranging from GST compensation, Srisailam fire accident, and the measures taken by the state government to contain the virus.

As part of prevention protocols, members will be asked to sit at six feet distance. The premises of the building were also sanitised, including equipment to be used for the debates. Wearing masks in the assembly has also been made mandatory.

Meanwhile, members of the opposition Congress party conducted a meeting on Sunday to discuss about the plan of action for the upcoming sessions.

Mulugu MLA Danasari Anusuya posted visuals of her getting tested for the virus.



Telangana Finance Minister K Harish Rao, however, tested positive for the virus two days before the commencement of the monsoon session. He announced on September 5 that he had tested positive and is placed under home quarantine.
