Women MLAs to lead discussions in Maha Assembly

On the occasion of International Women’s Day on Wednesday, Maharashtra Assembly Speaker Rahul Narvekar has listed in the business schedule the calling attention motions sought to be moved by women MLAs from all parties.

Getting People’s Attention A motion is a procedure for bringing a minister’s attention to a matter of urgent public importance and requesting an authoritative statement from him on that matter. Every legislator has access to this legislative tool.

Notably, the topics of the calling attention motions submitted by women legislators include, among other things, the expansion of a municipal corporation’s limits, farmer distress, and the non-construction of a flypast in Mumbai.
