Australian Parliamentary delegation meets C. Vidyasagar Rao

Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju on Thursday criticised Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, saying he ignored special permission to speak on the LPG shortage and instead raised another issue.

According to a post by BRS on 'X', KTR warned that the shortage is severely affecting hotels, eateries, hostels and small food businesses. The letter cautioned that thousands of establishments could be forced to shut down, while lakhs of workers and students may face serious hardship if the LPG supply is not restored immediately.

Tripura Legislative Assembly's upcoming Budget Session will be held from March 13 to March 25, announced Ratan Lal Nath, Parliamentary Affairs Minister of Tripura, following a meeting of the Business Advisory Committee (BAC) at the Assembly.

While backing the Centre's decision to invoke the Essential Commodities Act, KTR recommended freezing commercial cylinder prices for the duration of the "crisis" and having a public real-time availability dashboard.

"The members of the house have strengthened the traditions of the House, and always increased the prestige of the house. I thank everyone for putting their trust in me. I give you my confidence that I will always work to carry out my duties in an impartial, fair manner," Birla said on Thursday.
