The Uttar Pradesh assembly has decided to reserve a day exclusively for women MLAs during the Monsoon session

The decision has been taken considering the grievances voiced by the women MLAs that they do not get enough time to raise their issues in the assembly. The monsoon session is all set to commence on September 19.
 
Elucidating on the decision, Speaker Satish Mahanadi said, “A day will be reserved for the women members during the monsoon session. At an interaction with the women MLAs, it was pointed out that they did not get the appropriate opportunity to speak. So, we will fix a day for them, and they will be allowed to speak and raise their issues.”
 
The speaker also acknowledged that the new coffee vending machines will be installed in the assembly secretariat for the members in the lobbies.
 
At present, they have to go to the Central Hall for refreshments, but with the installation of new coffee vending machines, the members in the lobbies will have easy access to refreshments.
