The daily order of business for this year’s budget session will be carried out with minimum lawmakers in parliament, in an attempt to maintain social distancing and avoid the risk of Covid-19 infection during the brief session.
“Maintaining all health guidelines, the budget session will continue for around two weeks,” Zafar Ahmed Khan, senior secretary of the parliament secretariat, told the media.
“Due to ongoing second wave of Covid-19, the budget session would be as short as possible to avoid the risk of infection. No other business except for budgetary and other important activities would be done during the upcoming budget session,” he added.
The 11th Jatiya Sangsad will go into budget session at 5:00pm on June 2 while Finance Minister AHM Mustafa Kamal is scheduled to place the budget for the 2021-22 fiscal the following day.
This will be the 13th session of this Parliament.
