I am glad that Dept. Related Parliamentary Standing Committees have resumed functioning, three and half months since the last sitting of Parliament on March 23rd.
The Committee on Science and Technology, one of the 8 committees, serviced by Rajya Sabha held a meeting today.
Committee on Home Affairs, also of Rajya Sabha, is to meet next week.
A meeting of Committee on Home Affairs convened in the first week of June, could not be held due to the concerns of members over COVID-19 situation.
Corona pandemic did cast a shadow on the working of these committees, which function on behalf of the Parliament.
All concerned were keen about the resumption of work by these committees. But the delay was forced by circumstances beyond our control.
All possible measures were taken to enable committees' meetings by complying with the norms of social distancing, wearing of masks etc further to lifting of restrictions on domestic air travel in May.
I am hopeful these committees would now go about examining important issues concerning respective domains.
