The Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha adjourned sine die on August 31. Sittings of both the Houses were extended by two days. Both houses discussed the supplementary demands for grants. Issues related to inflation, flood and drought conditions, Commonwealth Games, Bhopal Gas Tragedy, protests in Kashmir, atrocities against SC/ST and illegal mining were also discussed besides legislative Bills. Several hours were lost due to interruptions and walkouts on the issues of inflation, petroleum price hike, delay in preparations for the Commonwealth Games and illegal mining. Both houses sat late on several days to make up for the lost time Lok Sabha worked for 94% of the scheduled hours and Rajya Sabha for 100%.
