Covid fears may cut the Monsoon Session short: report

With more than 30 MPs, including Union Ministers Nitin Gadkari and Prahlad Patel, testing positive over the last week, Covid concerns have peaked in Parliament and may lead to cutting short of the Monsoon Session. The Indian Express, quoting sources, reported that the session may be cut short if the Bills for which ordinances were issued during the lockdown are passed by both Houses. The session may be concluded by the middle of next week, the report said quoting two Opposition MPs.
