Parliament Winter Session Highlights: The winter session of Parliament will continue till December 20.

New Delhi:

The ninth day of the Winter Session of Parliament is expected to begin with the discussion on the Railways (Amendment) Bill 2024 in the Lok Sabha. On Wednesday, the Lower House saw a debate on the Bill, with Opposition MPs saying it would have a negative impact on the autonomy of railways and increase the potential for its privatisation.

The Opposition will likely raise the issue of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi being stopped from visiting the violence-hit Sambhal in Uttar Pradesh to meet the families of those killed in the November 24 violence.

Questions on developing new airports, privatisation of airports, national highways in Himachal Pradesh, and the development of Sabarimala airport will be asked in the Lok Sabha, among others.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah is scheduled to table the Disaster Management (Amendment) Bill, 2024 in Lok Sabha. The Bill seeks to amend the Disaster Management Act, 2005, bringing more clarity to roles and empowering authorities at the national and state levels.
