Parliament Monsoon Session: Ahead of the Monsoon session of Parliament, consultations have started upon how the session can be held in the midst of the coronavirus outbreak. According to a report in The Indian Express, the upcoming session is likely to see a mix of virtual and physical participation of the MPs due to the threat of virus.

The report said that while some members will be physically present in the Houses, others will be attending on a virtual platform.

The development comes after the secretaries-general of Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha said that the facilities are inadequate for a full virtual session. Earlier, there were reports that the government was mulling a full virtual session.
