They have to be present inside the Parliament to register themselves using the coordinates provided by the app. 359 members attended the proceedings of the Lok Sabha today.

The monsoon session of Parliament is slated to conclude on October 1, without any day off.Both the Houses of Parliament will sit for four hours daily adhering to coronavirus precautionary measures. (ANI)
