UP Assembly session begins under Covid shadow

management, deteriorating law and order situation, problems of farmers and the flood fury.

The Assembly, on Thursday, will adjourn after making obituary references. Two ministers Chetan Chauhan and Kamal Ran Varun have died this month due to the Covid virus. Nearly a dozen ministers have also tested positive for corona.

Assembly officials have ensured that social distancing is maintained inside the House.

Seating areas have been specially marked with Covid-19 protocols. The areas like the visitors' gallery and press gallery have been taken over by the authorities to make seating arrangements for the MLAs while maintaining a safe gap between them.

An advisory sent to the media says only those with Covid-19 negative test results will be allowed to enter the Assembly premises, but they will report from outside the Assembly through LED TVs.
