Tributes and Achievements Mark a Quiet Day in Rajya Sabha

The Rajya Sabha was adjourned without legislative business. Tributes were paid to Asha Bhosle and Mohsina Kidwai, while recognition was given to India's scientific progress with the criticality of the Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor, a milestone in the country's nuclear power program.

The Rajya Sabha session on Thursday concluded without legislative activity as newly elected members were sworn into the Upper House.
