Preview edition

Lok Sabha, 2 April 2026

18th Lok Sabha · Seventh Session · Sitting 28
House met 11:00–19:04

  1. Central armed police forces bill passed both Houses

    Lok Sabha passed the Central Armed Police Forces (General Administration) Bill after rejecting a select-committee proposal and three amendments. It had passed Rajya Sabha, but was not yet an Act at the end of the sitting. Official debate, pp. 1499–1626

  2. Amaravati capital amendment completed passage

    Lok Sabha was told that Rajya Sabha had agreed without amendment to the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill. Lok Sabha’s vote was on 1 April; the 2 April message completed passage by both Houses, not presidential assent, which followed on 6 April. Official passed text

  3. Insolvency-law passage was reported, not voted on again

    The House received a message that Rajya Sabha had agreed to the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code amendment after Lok Sabha passed it on 30 March. There was no fresh Lok Sabha vote on 2 April; commencement depends on later government notification. Official passed text

  4. Power Ministry reported 6.13 crore smart meters installed

    In answer to Starred Question 541, the ministry said 2.25 crore were operating in prepaid mode and 4.69 crore were installed under the Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme. These are ministry figures, not an independent finding by the House. Official answer

  5. Groundwater rose broadly, while local stress remained

    The Jal Shakti Ministry said 73.25% of 13,875 monitored wells had higher post-monsoon groundwater in 2025 than the 2015–24 post-monsoon average, while 45 of Karnataka’s 237 assessment units were over-exploited. Official answer
