Protests, Bills, and Voices: A Tumultuous Day in Lok Sabha

The Lok Sabha faced repeated adjournments amid opposition protests against Bihar's electoral roll revisions. Despite turmoil, the Mines and Minerals Amendment Bill 2025 and the Indian Ports Bill 2025 were passed. A bill amending the insolvency code was introduced, and a motion granting more time to the parliamentary committee reviewing election reforms was approved.

The Lok Sabha experienced a chaotic session as opposition protests regarding the Special Intensive Revision of Bihar's electoral rolls led to multiple adjournments on Tuesday. The upheaval, marked by torn papers thrown at the Chair, highlighted deep divisions within the House.

Despite the tumult, significant legislative progress was made. The Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Bill 2025 was passed swiftly through a voice vote. Additionally, the Indian Ports Bill 2025, aimed at empowering State Maritime Boards, also cleared the House, signaling key steps towards enhanced port management and development.

In a further legislative move, Union Minister Nirmala Sitharaman introduced a bill to amend the insolvency and bankruptcy code, recommending its detailed evaluation by a select committee. Meanwhile, the committee investigating concurrent elections received an extension, as the House moved towards recess.
