The winter session of Parliament will begin on Monday, with the Opposition at an all-party meeting on the eve of the session demanding a discussion on the Election Commission’s (EC’s) special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.

The EC on Sunday extended by a week the schedule of the ongoing SIR of electoral rolls in nine states and three Union Territories.

Opposition MPs have sought replies on the impact of air pollution in Delhi, whether the Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) has invested in the Adani group of companies, the four new labour Codes, and the impact of American tariffs on Indian export.

Congress Lok Sabha MP Shashi Tharoor has sought to know if the government has proposed amendments to the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Act, 2010, and the Atomic Energy Act, 1962, to limit supplier liabilities, including defining a cap on equipment suppliers’ liability.
