Legislators to get 3-day training on using NeVa: Speaker
The training will be provided to legislators from July 21-23 ahead of the Monsoon Session by trainers from the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs, Mr. Gupta said.
'The launch of the training centre and programme demonstrates the Delhi Legislative Assembly's proactive approach in aligning legislative procedures with the evolving demands of modern, accountable, and citizen-centric legislative practices,' Mr. Gupta said.
The speaker had earlier announced that the Monsoon Session of the Delhi Assembly will take place in the last week of July or the first week of August.
NeVA is a workflow system deployed on NIC Cloud, MeghRaj, which helps the chair of the House to conduct the proceedings smoothly. It will eliminate the process of sending out notices/requests for data collection. The application hosts a secure page for each member of the House for submitting questions and other notices.
The project aims to bring all the legislators of the country together on one platform, thereby creating a massive data depository without having the complexity of multiple applications.

Ahead of Independence Day, govt. launches month-long cleanliness drive
Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Friday said that to mark Independence Day, the government is launching a month-long cleanliness campaign starting from August 1. The campaign, called 'Delhi's Freedom from Garbage – Cleanliness Drive', plans to include all departments of the Delhi government, residents' welfare associations (RWAs), market associations, and school and college students. 'August is celebrated as the month of India's independence, and the government has resolved that this August, Delhi will achieve freedom from garbage,' Ms. Gupta said. She said the campaign will focus on schools, government offices and hospitals, and efforts will be made to clear accumulated waste. 'Attention will be given to slum areas, unauthorised colonies and informal settlements, ensuring that a significantly higher volume of waste is collected and disposed of compared to normal days. Cleanliness is not merely a government initiative but a civic duty,' the CM added. The Chief Minister's Office said a meeting with Ministers, MPs, councillors and RWA representatives will be held on July 29 to finalise the details of the execution of the campaign.

No protest, sloganeering in M.P. Assembly, says circular for Monsoon Session; Congress slams move
The Madhya Pradesh Assembly Secretariat has prohibited protests and sloganeering in the Assembly premises in the upcoming Monsoon session that is scheduled to start from July 28, with the move drawing a criticism from the Opposition Congress. The ban was issued in a circular dated July 10 issued by A.P. Singh, Principal Secretary, M.P. Assembly concerning security protocols ahead of the upcoming session. 'Hon'ble Members are also requested that under the Standing Order 94(2) of Hon'ble Speaker, sloganeering and demonstrations in the Assembly premises by Hon'ble Members are prohibited,' said the circular, that also includes various other security protocols. Slamming the move, Leader of Opposition in the Assembly Umang Singhar said that the decision was taken 'under pressure from the government'. 'The government, which gives false and fake statistics in the Assembly, is issuing such rules and orders by pressurizing the Speaker to protect itself from being exposed. This is the murder of democracy,' he said, while reiterating the Congress's demand of live streaming the House proceedings. 'Article 194 of the Constitution gives special powers to the MLAs to raise the public's issues in the House. We strongly oppose this move and like before, we will raise public issues loudly in the upcoming session,' he said. Speaking to The Hindu, Mr. Singh, however, said that this was a routine circular that is issued for security purposes ahead of each session. 'There is no new or special provision in it. No ban has been imposed separately. Such circulars are issued before each session with such requests and the rest is left on the members' wisdom,' he said.

BJP seeks resignation of Congress MLA over alleged caste cert fraud
1 2 3 Jaipur: The BJP Friday demanded the immediate resignation of Congress MLA from Keshoraipatan (Bundi), CL Premi Bairwa, following allegations that he secured a forged Scheduled Caste (SC) certificate to contest the 2023 Assembly elections. As per allegations, Bairwa—originally from a general category—allegedly obtained a fake caste certificate to contest from the SC-reserved Keshoraipatan seat in Bundi district. BJP spokesperson Laxmikant Bhardwaj said the party took note of the issue and would scrutinise the documents thoroughly. "This case exposes how shamelessly the Congress can stoop to win elections. Premi Bairwa became MLA twice—in 2008 and 2023—using fake documents," Bhardwaj alleged. "Though this may not yet be a criminal case, the govt must immediately revoke all benefits and perks he enjoyed during his tenure. " Former Keshoraipatan BJP MLA Chandrakanta Meghwal, one of the complainants, said documents were submitted to additional chief secretary Aparna Arora, who heads the social justice & empowerment and panchayati raj departments Friday. "We submitted documents including Bairwa's date of birth, election affidavits, family history, and caste references," Meghwal told TOI. "Bairwa belongs to a family historically associated with the erstwhile Tonk royal family and carries the title 'Kabari'. His father was never listed as SC in official records, and none of his documents identify him as Scheduled Caste. A probe into his family background will reveal more shocking facts. "
