The Monsoon Session of the 13th Tripura Legislative Assembly will be held from September 19 to 23. The session was approved by the Governor following a meeting of the Business Advisory Committee. There will be no sitting on September 22 because Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit the state that day.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ratan Lal Nath said the session will include the tabling of four Bills: the Tripura State Goods and Services Tax (Amendment) Bill; the Tripura Janabiswas (Amendment) Provision Bill; the Factories (Second Amendment) Bill, 2025; and the Tripura Shops & Establishments (Seventh Amendment) Bill.
On September 19, lawmakers will participate in Question Hour and introduce these Bills. On subsequent days, there will be debate and discussion, along with three Private Members’ Resolutions. These resolutions are expected to be from representatives of diverse parties including BJP, CPIM, and TIPRA Motha.
Because Assembly Speaker Biswabandhu Sen is recovering from illness, the Deputy Speaker Ram Prasad Paul will preside over the session.
Minister Nath also noted that the scheduling takes into account the Durga Puja festival, and the Assembly session has been shortened to accommodate the festive period.
Legislators and citizens alike are keenly watching what provisions these Bills and Resolutions will contain. Key issues expected to surface include labor law changes, business regulations, employee welfare, and service provisions, especially given the approach of festival season.
