Rajya Sabha Adjusts Schedule for Festive Observations

The Rajya Sabha will meet over the weekend of March 28-29, 2026, to accommodate cancellations on March 19-20 due to festivals like Navaratri, Gudipadwa, and Ramadan, as per requests from members. The decision was announced by Chairman C P Radhakrishnan following a Business Advisory Committee meeting.

The Rajya Sabha is set to convene over the weekend on March 28-29, 2026. This adjustment comes after the government agreed to cancel sessions originally scheduled for March 19-20 due to several religious festivals.

Chairman C P Radhakrishnan communicated this decision on Monday, acknowledging requests from House members to observe festivals like Navaratri, Gudipadwa, and Ramadan without interruption.

Following a Business Advisory Committee meeting on March 11, the changes were implemented, ensuring the lost time will be compensated by weekend sessions.
