The Lok Sabha witnessed two adjournments today, the first at 11 AM till 2 PM and the second at 2 PM for the day because of noisy protests by the Opposition demanding a discussion on the SIR process in Bihar.

Rajya Sabha was adjourned for the day as a mark of respect following the demise of sitting Member of Parliament Shibu Soren.
The members paid homage to the former Jharkhand Chief Minister and founder of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, who passed away today at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in Delhi after a prolonged illness.
When the House convened at 11 am, Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman Harivansh expressed condolences, describing Shibu Soren as a senior and distinguished tribal leader who played a pivotal role in advocating for the rights and welfare of tribal communities.
