Parliament's winter session from December 5 to 20

Winter Session of Parliament will be held from December 5 to December 20.

An official announcement said the President has summoned the two Houses of Parliament to meet on December 5.

"Subject to exigencies of business, the Winter Session is scheduled to conclude on Friday, the 20th December," it said.

A Rajya Sabha release said that there will be a total of 12 sittings.

This time, the Winter Session is a curtailed affair due to the ongoing assembly polls in five states.
