Elaborate arrangements have been made for the nearly month-long session starting on Thursday as mandated under the COVID-19 protocol, he told reporters here.

”The general public will be allowed to watch the proceedings from the visitors’ gallery. However, students will not be allowed this time,” he said.

During the monsoon and winter session of the assembly last year the public was not allowed.

A series of events, including a discussion on One Nation, One Election, are lined up during the coming session, Kageri said.
