Security arrangements, administrative coordination, document preparation, and departmental accountability were among the key issues discussed to ensure the orderly conduct of the session.

All-party meetings are a good tradition, but the real test is on the floor of the House. Will the opposition ask tough questions? Will the ministers give straight answers? Let's hope for substance over drama this time.

Directing departments to be prepared and have senior officers present is a smart move. Often, the answers given in the assembly are vague because the minister doesn't have the latest data. Accountability is key! 👍

As someone who has worked in governance, I appreciate the emphasis on interdepartmental coordination mentioned by the Finance Minister. Silos within government are a huge problem. Hope they walk the talk.

"Smooth proceedings" should not mean avoiding difficult discussions. The opposition must hold the government accountable, especially on promises related to mining-affected communities and farmer welfare. That's their duty.

Hoping for a budget that prioritizes health and education infrastructure in the tribal areas. Too many announcements, too little on-ground implementation. The session should have a follow-up mechanism for past assurances.
