Budget Session – Day 16 : Mar 16th, 2016

The first half of Budget Session, 2016 ended today. During the day Lok Sabha took up discussion on the situation arising out of recent terror attacks at Pathankot Airbase. Lok Sabha also took up discussion on the Mines and Mineral (Regulation and Development) Bill, 2016. 

Rajya Sabha discussed and returned the Aadhaar Bill.
