CAG reports on ‘Sheesh Mahal’, ‘Mohalla Clinics’ expected to be tabled
The winter session of the Delhi Legislative Assembly will commence on January 5, and the proceedings will begin with the address of Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena. This was announced by Speaker Vijender Gupta on Friday.
Addressing the media at the Delhi Assembly Secretariat, the Speaker said necessary administrative and logistical arrangements had been put in place. Several important legislative papers are expected to be tabled during the session, to be held from January 5 to January 8. He emphasised the importance of maintaining decorum and efficiency during the proceedings.
As per sources, Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) reports on ‘Sheesh Mahal’ and ‘Mohalla Clinics’ are also expected to be tabled during the winter session.
During the briefing, Gupta also shared the details of a major spiritual and cultural event to be held in the national capital next month. A nine-day Ram Katha, led by renowned spiritual orator Pujya Morari Bapu, will be organised at Bharat Mandapam from January 17 to 25. The programme is being organised by Ahimsa Vishwa Bharati under the guidance of Acharya Lokesh.
The Speaker said former president Ram Nath Kovind had consented to serve as the chairperson for the event, which aims to promote values of peace, harmony and universal brotherhood. He said the Ram Katha would be a significant cultural milestone, especially as it brings together spiritual leaders, scholars and devotees from across India and abroad.
Acharya Lokesh said the nine-day discourse would convey the timeless values of Lord Rama such as compassion, discipline and moral integrity. It would attract participants from several countries. He said the event reflects India’s enduring civilisational ethos of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam”, the world as one family.
Speaker Gupta said the programme symbolises India’s rich spiritual heritage and interfaith harmony, noting that hosting such an event at Bharat Mandapam underscores Delhi’s role as a cultural and moral centre of the nation.
