Delhi Civic Centre chaos as House cuts key panel’s powers amid protest
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)-led municipal administration in Delhi has pushed through a proposal to transfer the powers of the key standing committee to the house of councillors, causing chaos and protests from the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Some experts say the transfer of powers is not legally feasible and can only be done if the Delhi Municipal Corporation Act is amended by Parliament. The standing committee controls the finances of the corporation and all proposals with financial implications over ₹5 crore ($698,000) must be approved by the committee before being presented to the house.

Oppn MPs walk out of panel meet amid uproar over data bill
Seven Opposition members walked out of a meeting of the standing committee on Information Technology and Communications after their demand to see a copy of the Personal Data Protection Bill before a report on it was adopted was not met. The parliamentary panel adopted the 40-page report despite the walkout. The Opposition lawmakers have now submitted a two-page dissent note on the existing draft and their concerns over the bill. The proposed legislation, which seeks to empower people with the right to know what data has been collected, stored and shared, is likely to be introduced in the monsoon session of Parliament.
