Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu on Thursday held a meeting with the Parliamentary Affairs Minister Prahlad Joshi to review the work done during 252nd Session of Rajya Sabha which concluded prematurely on Wednesday.
Besides Joshi Union Ministers V. Muraleedharan and Arjun Ram Meghwal and the Rajya Sabha Secretary General Desh Deepak Verma were among those present in the meeting.
M VenkaiahNaidu, who is also the Chairman of Rajya Sabha, appreciated the work done by both the Secretariats (Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha) to ensure smooth conduct of the Monsoon Session keeping in view the difficult prevailing circumstances due to the pandemic.Sources said that while Naidu appreciated the many legislations were materialised but at the same time rued the fact that the session which was conducted under very precarious circumstances ended on a sad note with the Opposition boycotting the session and that the Deputy Chairman Harivansh was hounded by members who had to be suspended.
On being informed that 83 officials of the Secretariat have tested positive for Corona virus, the Chairman directed the officers to render necessary medical assistance and other welfare measures to all of them.
