Stage set for by-elections in six Assembly constituencies
The stage is ready for by-elections in six Assembly constituencies in the state, scheduled to take place on 13 November.
Taking a step closer to having a sustainable future, Delhi Legislative Assembly goes paperless.
All 70 MLAs will now be provided with the tablets on which they will receive all the necessary information regarding assembly proceedings online.
The Assembly has taken up an automation project which will allow MLAs to work digitally. From submitting questions to tabling the bills in the assembly, all work will be done online.
On Tuesday, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia took to Twitter and said, “Delhi Legislative Assembly will be completely paperless now. All documents and bills will be tabled in E-paper format. Lakhs of pages used during the proceedings of the Legislative Assembly will now be presented as soft copy.”
To begin with the process of going paperless, members were asked to carry their tablets provided by the finance department during the current budget session.
