3 Sep 2012: Three bills passed in the Lok Sabha amidst the continuing chaos

For the past few days, the Parliament has continually been adjourned and no work has been carried out as a result. As chaos continued in the Parliament today with the BJP, Shiv Sena and some other allies continuing to protest against the government over the col block allotment issue, the government and its allies decided to push ahead with the business of the house in the Lok Sabha and passed three bills through oral vote. The bills passed were the Women Against Sexual Harassment at Workplace Bill, 2010; the North-Eastern Areas (Reorganisation) Amendment Bill, 2011; and the National Highways Authority of India (Amendment) Bill, 2011. The Prohibition of Employment as Manual Scavengers and their Rehabilitation Bill, 2012, was also introduced by the government today. Meanwhile, the Rajya Sabha was adjourned without any business being conducted for the ninth straight day.
