New Delhi, April 27 Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta met Lieutenant Governor T.S. Sandhu on the eve of a special Delhi Assembly session called on April 28 to pass a resolution on the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, along with other legislative business, an official said on Monday.​

The Lok Niwas said on X, “Smt @gupta_rekha called on Hon’ble @LtGovDelhi, Sardar @SandhuTaranjitS, at @LokNiwasDelhi today.”​

Apart from the obituary reference and tabling of copies of Finance Accounts and Appropriation Accounts of the Delhi government, the list of business for the session mentioned that a government resolution (under rule 90) will be moved by CM Gupta on the implementation of the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam.​

It is expected that the House may discuss women’s reservation and may pass a resolution condemning the Congress and other Indian bloc parties for defeating the amendment bill on the issue in the Lok Sabha earlier this month.​

Earlier, Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta issued a notification summoning the Fifth Session of the Eighth Legislative Assembly for Sunday, after obtaining Sandhu's approval.​

In a related development, Speaker Gupta informed that the L-G has prorogued the Fourth Session of the Eighth Legislative Assembly with immediate effect on Sunday.​

This formal order brings an official end to the prolonged session, allowing for a structured transition into the new session.​

To facilitate the upcoming business, the Delhi Legislative Assembly Secretariat has finalised all necessary arrangements to ensure the smooth and uninterrupted conduct of proceedings, the statement said.​

In view of the recent bomb threats, tight security measures and a comprehensive safety net have been established at the Old Secretariat to safeguard the members and staff during the session, it said.​
