Press Trust of India New Delhi
The Rajya Sabha proceedings were adjourned twice on Monday as Opposition protests over various issues, including electoral rolls revision in Bihar, continued to rock the House.
As soon as the House reassembled for the Question Hour at 12 noon, various Opposition MPs were on their feet and Sushmita Dev (TMC) trooped into the Well, and sought to raise various issues. As the din continued, the proceedings were adjourned again till 2 pm.
During the morning session (Zero Hour), Deputy Chairman Harivansh said he has received 26 notices under Rule 267 demanding discussion on various issues including Special Intensive Revision (SIR) and alleged discrimination against Bengali migrant workers in other states.
He declined all the adjournment notices, and called Sudha Murty (nominated member) to make her Zero Hour mention.
However, Opposition members, including from TMC and Congress were on their feet protesting the Chair's decision.
They were raising slogans like 'Vote Ki Chori Band Karo' (stop stealing votes), and the Chair adjourned the proceedings till 12 noon.

Documentation criteria hurdle hits rural voters
NEW DELHI: Bihar's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls has come under sharp scrutiny amid concerns that the documentation criteria set by the Election Commission. As per the EC's guidelines, voters must furnish at least one of 11 documents to verify their identity and place of birth. These include birth certificate, passport, matriculation or higher education certificate, government-issued identity card or pension payment order (PPO), permanent residence (domicile) certificate, forest rights certificate, caste certificate, NRC document (if available), a family register, a land or house allotment certificate, or any government or PSU identity document issued before July 1, 1987. Two of India's most commonly held IDs—EPIC and Aadhaar—have been excluded from the list. A recent report, 'For a Few Documents More', published by the Stranded Workers Action Network (SWAN), paints a grim picture of the state's documentary landscape. Field surveys across 10 districts revealed that only 35% of migrant workers possessed any of the documents listed under SIR. Among rural poor families, the figure was even lower. The report highlights a major flaw: a handful of households—mostly urban, upper-caste, salaried, and male-headed—possess multiple documents, while the majority have none. This overlap creates an illusion of wider coverage, while deepening the exclusion of the already marginalised. Many documents require prior papers to obtain—a passport needs a birth certificate, which in turn may demand school records—compounding the bureaucratic burden. Take birth certificates, for example. Only 6.2% of people born before 2005 had their births registered. Today, just 3% hold valid certificates. That leaves over 90% of Bihar's adult population unable to use this foundational document. Passports fare no better, with only 1.5% of the population possessing one—mostly the urban affluent. Matriculation or higher education certificates, another accepted proof, are held by 15% of the population, as per the 2023 caste survey. Access to government-issued ID cards or PPOs is limited to state employees and pensioners, who make up merely 1.57% of population. Domicile certificates are often blocked by procedural delays. Citizens are asked to provide older certificates to get new ones—creating what SWAN terms a 'circular burden of proof.' Bribes reportedly further restrict access.

Ahead of Bengal polls, Mamata govt rolls out Rs 8,000-cr neighbourhood outreach scheme
TAPAN MONDOL, 31, seated on the front bench in a classroom of Bele-Durganagar High School, Joynagar, in South 24 Parganas, while attending a meeting as part of the TMC government's 'Amader Para, Amader Samadhan' (Our Neighbourhood, Our Solution) initiative, which rolled out from August 2 at the booth level, pointed out, 'We lack drinking water sources, forcing us to travel 2.5 km for water. So, we are proposing at least four tubewells for our Bele-Durganagar area.' The move comes ahead of the Assembly elections, which is less than a year away. During the meeting, a government official on site pointed out, 'One tube well costs around Rs 2 lakh, and we only have Rs 10 lakh fund. Installing four tubewells would exceed our budget.' However, backing Mondol's proposal, another villager, 67-year-old Prafulla Sardar, responded firmly, 'We will handle other issues such as streetlights and poor roads later. Drinking water comes first. So, prioritise the tubewells, then do whatever else you want to.' After the 'success' of its 'Duare Sarkar' and 'Parai Samadhan' campaigns, the West Bengal government on Saturday launched a Rs 8,000-crore outreach programme aimed at resolving local issues such as setting up street lamps, repairing roads and ensuring water supply, across districts, at the level of 'paras' or neighbourhoods. As part of the scheme, a locality (para) is constituted with three booths. On the opening day, each centre had three dedicated rooms where villagers could submit their local demands. These were compiled by a neutral person and handed over to the administration. The proposals would then be reviewed and decisions made on which projects to implement. The administration also arranged a help desk to take individual problems and applications. Organised for Booth 181 of the Joynagar Assembly constituency, the voters of the three booths – 181, 182 and 183 – participated in the project camp. Inaugurating the camp, Sumit Gupta, District Magistrate of South 24 Parganas, said, 'We have supplied the scheme names which will be allowed in this programme. People will put forth their demands in today's meeting. These will be scrutinised and selected projects will be implemented from November. On the first day, we organised 56 camps across the district.' 'In this scheme, one para will be constituted with three booths. But in remote places, we are making para with one or two booths also,' he added. However, a controversy erupted when it surfaced that Bele-Durganagar High School had exams scheduled on Saturday, and the camps began before the exams were completed. The school head master Arijit Sarkar claimed, 'We do not have problems and students also did not face any problems.' Meanwhile, the DM said, 'I do not have any idea that examinations are going on. It is not desirable. We are investigating.' Another camp was organised at Champahati Nilmani Kar Vidyalaya, under the Baruipur-East Assembly constituency, with participants belonging under booth number 24, 25 and 26. Panchayat Development Officer of Baruipur, Sanjib Roy Chowdhury said, 'Many people are coming and expecting that they can submit their problems like OBC certificate, Lakshmir Bhandar application, widow pension like government schemes. We also arranged for them a help desk so that they can submit their demands also.' A local Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader, Manna Naskar, said, 'It is a new programme. But it will be useful for development as ground level general voters are participating in this programme.' 'More than 300 persons participated in the programme. They have given many proposals, mostly roads, drinking water and streetlights,' said another TMC leader and local panchayat pradhan Asit Baran Mondol. Last month, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who announced the initiative, claimed, 'First such initiative in INDIA where people can voice their opinions and mutually decide the issues they need to get it resolved in their booth using Rs 10 lakh.' After its launch on Saturday, Banerjee posted on X, 'Amader Para Amader Samadhan' (APAS) is a unique flagship initiative aimed at institutionalizing participatory governance and re-imagining grassroots service delivery through people-engagement and empowerment. APAS camp is a platform where local people shall deliberate, identify and prioritize their local level infrastructure needs.' 'Rs 8,000+ crore is the outlay for APAS with Rs 10 lakh allocated per booth and 80,000+ polling booths being covered by 27,000+ camps. Today, on the first day of 'Amader Para, Amader Samadhan' (APAS) 632 camps are being held across the State. Duare Sarkar counters have also been set up in APAS Camps.I invite the people to visit their camps and participate in the discussions to make APAS a grand success. I also thank the concerned government officials and other stakeholders for their efforts in the smooth roll out of the campaign,' she added.

Meghwal cites precedent, says discussion on Bihar SIR in Parliament unlikely
NEW DELHI: Signaling that the government may not concede to the opposition's demand for a discussion on the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar, Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal on Saturday said that the Opposition must go by the precedent of former Lok Sabha speaker Balram Jakhar, who declined such a demand. Both the Rajya Sabha and the Lok Sabha have failed to conduct any business on Thursday and Friday over the Opposition's demand for a debate on the Bihar SIR and other issues. The opposition has maintained that they will intensify the protest inside and outside the Parliament if the government does not pay heed to their demand. Responding to a question on Rahul Gandhi's demand for a discussion in Parliament on Bihar electoral roll revision, Meghwal said, 'I think the Opposition should look at the precedent of former Lok Sabha speaker Balram Jakhar in this regard.' Balram Jakhar, who served as Lok Sabha Speaker from 1980 to 1989, issued a ruling stating that Parliament cannot discuss the functioning of the Election Commission. Jakhar had turned down a demand for a discussion in the House on the Election Commission's functioning, given that the poll panel is conceived as an independent entity. The minister further said that while the government has been constantly requesting the Opposition to allow the Parliament to function smoothly, the aim of the Congress and its leader in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, is beyond understanding. Accusing the Congress MP and his party of overlooking facts and defaming the constitutional institutions of the country, Meghwal said Gandhi should present his grievances about the polling process before the EC.
