The Monsoon session will be of six days with holiday on 30 and 31 July being Saturday and Sunday, respectively.
In this session, the state government has made preparations to re-introduce the Anti Mob Lynching Bill and important bills related to the establishment of Tribal University in the state. Both these bills were passed by the Assembly earlier, but due to the difference in their Hindi-English translation, the Governor returned them without signing them.
On the first day of Monsoon session, the Speaker also welcomed newly elected Mandar MLA Shilpi Neha Tirkey.
Congress candidate Shilpi Neha Tirkey won the by-election to Jharkhand's Mandar seat on Sunday, defeating her nearest rival, BJP's Gangotri Kujur, by a margin of 23,517 votes.
The by-poll was necessitated after the disqualification of Bandhu Tirkey as an MLA in the wake of his conviction in a corruption case.
