The ongoing Budget session of the Tripura Legislative Assembly has been shortened and will now conclude earlier than originally planned.

Initially scheduled to end on March 25, the session will now wrap up on March 23, cutting it short by two days.

The decision comes after a revision to the earlier plan set during the first Business Advisory Committee (BAC) meeting held on March 6, where it was decided that the session would run from March 13 to March 25.

A fresh development took place following a proposal by Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ratan Lal Nath, who recommended reducing the number of sitting days. The suggestion was made in light of the upcoming Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) elections announced by the State Election Commission.

All political parties agreed to the proposal. Subsequently, the minister requested Speaker Rampada Jamatia to call another BAC meeting, where members unanimously approved the decision to shorten the session.

With this change, the Assembly’s Budget session will now officially conclude on March 23.
