New Delhi, April 27

Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta met Lieutenant Governor T.S. Sandhu on the eve of a special Delhi Assembly session called on April 28 to pass a resolution on the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, along with other legislative business, an official said on Monday.​

The Lok Niwas said on X, "Smt @gupta_rekha called on Hon'ble @LtGovDelhi, Sardar @SandhuTaranjitS, at @LokNiwasDelhi today."​

Apart from the obituary reference and tabling of copies of Finance Accounts and Appropriation Accounts of the Delhi government, the list of business for the session mentioned that a government resolution (under rule 90) will be moved by CM Gupta on the implementation of the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam.​

It is expected that the House may discuss women's reservation and may pass a resolution condemning the Congress and other Indian bloc parties for defeating the amendment bill on the issue in the Lok Sabha earlier this month.​

Earlier, Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta issued a notification summoning the Fifth Session of the Eighth Legislative Assembly for Sunday, after obtaining Sandhu's approval.​

In a related development, Speaker Gupta informed that the L-G has prorogued the Fourth Session of the Eighth Legislative Assembly with immediate effect on Sunday.​

This formal order brings an official end to the prolonged session, allowing for a structured transition into the new session.​

To facilitate the upcoming business, the Delhi Legislative Assembly Secretariat has finalised all necessary arrangements to ensure the smooth and uninterrupted conduct of proceedings, the statement said.​

In view of the recent bomb threats, tight security measures and a comprehensive safety net have been established at the Old Secretariat to safeguard the members and staff during the session, it said.​

This is a great step, but I hope the resolution isn't just a political stunt. The real test will be in implementation and ensuring it benefits all women, not just those in power. Have to wait and watch.

Good to see CM Rekha Gupta taking this seriously. But why is the Congress opposing the bill in Lok Sabha? They should support women's empowerment. Very confusing politics. 🤔

Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam is a historic move. I'm glad the Delhi Assembly is passing a resolution. However, the bomb threats and security concerns are worrying. Hope everyone stays safe.

Finally, something substantive from the Delhi government. But let's not forget the need for better implementation of existing schemes for women,safety and education before celebrating new bills.

Good initiative by CM Gupta. But the opposition should also be constructive. Women's reservation is a non-partisan issue. Sad to see political games being played in Parliament.

I hope this resolution actually leads to more women in legislative bodies. We need diverse voices in decision-making. Also, relieved to see security measures being taken after those bomb threats
