Budget session of Parliament resumes from Monday

NEW DELHI, 13 Mar: The second part of the Parliament’s budget session begins on Monday with the opposition set to corner the government on a range of issues, including rising unemployment, a reduction in the interest rate on employees’ provident fund and the evacuation of Indians stranded in war-hit Ukraine.

Top on the government’s agenda would be getting Parliament’s approval to the budgetary proposals and presentation of the budget for the union territory of Jammu & Kashmir.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is set to present the budget for Jammu & Kashmir in the Lok Sabha on Monday and it is expected to be taken up for discussion in the post-lunch sitting of the house. (PTI)
