Tensions flared in the Rajya Sabha as proceedings were halted until 2 pm due to opposition protests. Lawmakers voiced discontent after 19 of their adjournment notices on various matters were dismissed.

After Deputy Chairman Harivansh acknowledged the late Nagaland governor La Ganesan, he highlighted procedural flaws in the dismissed notices, including improper language and content.

Despite Harivansh's appeals for decorum, the uproar continued as members pressed for dialogue on Bihar's electoral roll issues, resulting in the adjournment of debates.
