For the first time, Punjab legislators will get answers on all issues that they raise during the debates in the Vidhan Sabha during the Zero Hour.

Vidhan Sabha Speaker Kultar Singh Sandhwan said the answers would be given later in writing to the MLAs who raised the issues. “We are trying to ensure that one day prior to the session, all MLAs who want to raise issues give these in writing to the Vidhan Sabha Secretariat. On each day, 20 of these issues will be taken up for discussion in Zero Hour,” he said.

Sandhwan said each day the issues to be taken up would be decided through a draw of lots.

It may be mentioned that answers are given by ministers to questions raised only during the Question Hour.
