In the New Building of the Parliament on Tuesday, members of the Parliament gathered for a group photo before the Parliament session. Among the lawmakers present for the group photo were Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Vice President and Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar, Lok Sabha Chairman Om Birla, and others.

Before the photo session, Bharatiya Janata Party member of the Rajya Sabha Narhari Amin passed out. He had been sitting earlier, but his fellow lawmakers later gave him a seat. Starting today, the House’s proceedings will take place in the New Parliament Building. The Central Hall program, which will be held today at 11 AM in front of members of both the Rajya Sabha and the Lok Sabha, is currently being prepared at the old Parliament building.

The Central Hall of the former Parliament will host a celebration to “commemorate the rich legacy of the Parliament of India and resolve to make Bharat a developed Nation by 2047.” Prior to the special session of the Parliament in the new building, the security personnel at the Parliament building could also be seen wearing the new uniform. After a discussion on parliamentary democracy over the previous 75 years, both Houses adjourned on Monday. The presiding officers announced that the proceedings would resume on Tuesday afternoon in the new Parliament building.
