Monsoon session: Govt to face rain of queries on fuel price, Covid control

A series of meetings were held on Sunday ahead of the session, indicating the seriousness with which both the government and Opposition parties will approach the session

Delhi will see stormy weather from Monday, both literally and figuratively, as Parliament opens for the monsoon session amid the delayed rainy season. Seventeen new Bills will be introduced during the 19-day session, but the fate of the eagerly awaited Personal Data Protection Bill, which is being discussed by a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC), is uncertain after chairperson Meenakshi Lekhi and prominent member Rajeev Chandrasekhar were appointed ministers in the last reshuffle. The JPC was to have given its report in the first week of the monsoon session. This looks extremely uncertain now.
