Imphal, July 26:
A meeting of the Business Advisory Committee held today has decided to convene the second session of the Manipur Legislative Assembly from July 31 till August 2.Even though the meeting of the BAC held at the Speaker's chamber with Speaker Dr S Budhichandra in the chair discussed about election of Deputy Speaker, it is not clear whether election to the vacant post of Deputy Speaker will be held during the forthcoming Assembly session or not.
On the opening day of the session, the Salaries and Allowances of Chairman of the Manipur Legislative Assembly (Hill Areas Committee) Third Amendment Bill 2007 will be produced before the House.
A motion to discuss the issue of delimitation may be raised on August 2.There will be private member business on the day.
On the last day of the session (August 3), the Salaries and Allowances of Chairman of the Manipur Legislative Assembly (Hill Areas Committee) Third Amendment Bill 2007 may be passed after deliberation in the House.
Even as the opposition members have already submitted a written application to the House leader Chief Minister Okram Ibobi to allot the post of Deputy Speaker to an opposition member, the Business Advisory Committee could not arrive at any understanding in this regard during today's meeting.
