Scheduled to begin on January 5, the four-day session will focus on pollution in the national capital alongside detailed scrutiny of CAG reports on the ‘Sheeshmahal; the Delhi Jal Board, and Delhi government-run universities.

Addressing a press conference, Minister Kapil Mishra said the government will table a detailed proposal on pollution along with three CAG reports, one on alleged corruption linked to the ‘Sheeshmahal, another on the functioning of the Delhi Jal Board (DJB), and a third on Delhi government-run universities. The term ‘Sheeshmahal’ has been coined by the BJP to highlight the alleged opulence of the former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s official residence at 6, Flagstaff Road.
