Good to see the legislative process moving forward. The bill on time-bound delivery of public services is particularly important - citizens have been waiting too long for basic services. Repealing old acts and bringing fresh legislation is the way to go.
I appreciate the effort to streamline the bed and breakfast regulations. It's a growing sector in Delhi and needs clear rules. But I hope the government also focuses on the implementation, not just passing bills. We have enough legislation gathering dust already! 🙏
The Urban Shelter Improvement Board amendment concerns me - we need to ensure transparency when dealing with housing for the poor. Bhopal's shelter situation shows what happens when these things are done hastily. Hope the House debates this properly rather than rushing it through.
Interesting that the CAG reports cover different financial years (2023 and 2024-25). This backlog in auditing is concerning. Delhi deserves better financial oversight, especially the electricity regulatory commission matters. The open access regulations will affect businesses and consumers alike.
Five-day session feels too short for all this work. CAG reports plus three bills plus electricity regulations - that's a lot of material to digest. But at least the Speaker has laid out a clear agenda. Hopefully, we see meaningful debates instead of usual din and disruption!
