Parliament adjourns till Aug 18 amid Opposition ruckus over Bihar’s SIR

New Delhi, Aug 12 (UNI) Both Houses of Parlaiment --Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha - adjourned today till August 18 after wrapping up key legislative business amid vocal protests by the Opposition over the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in poll-bound Bihar.
Before adjourning, the Lower House passed two important bills without debate — the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2025 and the Indian Ports Bill, 2025. The latter aims to consolidate port-related laws, promote integrated port development, facilitate ease of doing business, and ensure optimal utilization of India’s coastline. However, the passage took place amid noisy protests from Opposition members raising concerns over Bihar’s voter roll revision process.
The Lok Sabha also referred the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (Amendment) Bill, 2025 to a select committee for further scrutiny.
