As soon as Lok Sabha met at noon after one adjournment, over 40 members from different parties, including supporters and opponents of Telangana, walked into the well raising various issues, including Telangana. Amid continuing pandemonium, Speaker Meira Kumar adjourned the house till Wednesday after laying of papers and introduction of a bill seeking to acquire certain areas in Mumbai for the Bhimrao Ambedkar Memorial.
