Panaji: Officials have announced that the monsoon session of the Goa Legislative Assembly would begin on July 18 and last until August 10.
The monsoon session of the Goa Legislative Assembly will commence on July 18, according to information provided to IANS by assembly officials. "There will be 18 sitting of the monsoon session, which will conclude on August 10," the officer said.
In a Tuesday press conference, Goa Assembly Speaker Ramesh Tawadkar assured the opposition that their concerns would be heard during the upcoming monsoon session of the House.
"This session will be lengthy, which would give enough time to opposition benches to discuss the issues facing the state," Tawadkar said.
On many occasions, the opposition parties in Goa have alleged that the ruling party suppresses their voice by curtailing the duration of the Assembly session.
The opposition has seven MLAs in the 40-member Goa Assembly.
The opposition parties had criticised the BJP administration earlier in March for curtailing the budget session from five days to four days due to 'Ram Navami' celebrations.—Inputs from Agencies
