UP Assembly monsoon session likely to be held via video conference: Speaker

The monsoon session of the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly could held in August through video conferencing, said Speaker Hriday Narayan Dixit on Sunday, but ruled out holding a 'hybrid session' on the lines of the British Parliament.

Dixit also said the final decision on the issue will be taken by the state government and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

"At present, we are mulling all the possibilities (to hold the monsoon session of the UP Legislature). One possibility is holding the session through video conferencing," Dixit told PTI on Sunday.

"Another option available with us is to hold the session at the Lok Bhavan.
