Finally, first Lok Sabha session in two years in which House was not adjourned even for a minute Wednesday May 11,2016

Finally it was some good news for the Modi government. The Lok Sabha was not disrupted even for a minute and clocked 120 % productivity

10 bills, including the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 and the Anti-Hijacking Bill, were passed during the three-week session in Lok Sabha which saw no adjournment unlike in the Rajya Sabha which had to be adjourned several times due to disruptions.

The Eighth Session of the 16th Lok Sabha, which commenced on April 25, had 13 sittings spread over 92 hours and 21 minutes.

"I am happy to inform you that in the recent past this is the first session in which House was not adjourned even for a single minute due to interruptions and I thank the entire House for cooperation extended to the Chair," Speaker Sumitra Mahajan had said in her valedictory address yesterday.

The session in Lok Sabha was yesterday brought to an end, two days before its scheduled culmination.
The Budget Session of Parliament had begun on February 23 and concluded on March 16.
 There was the scheduled recess between the first and second part.

However, the session was prorogued to allow promulgation of an Ordinance to bring and pass a Vote on Account for Uttarakhand, which was under President's rule.

An Ordinance cannot be promulgated when Parliament is in session. So, the house was prorogued and the second part of the Budget Session began as a new session on April 25. This session was to end on May 13,2016 as per the schedule.
