A one-day session of the Tripura Legislative Assembly will take place on April 30 to deliberate on strengthening and protecting the constitutional rights of women in India, along with pushing forward the proposed 131st Constitutional Amendment Bill, known as the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam.

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ratan Lal Nath shared this information after a Business Advisory Committee (BAC) meeting held on Monday.

According to the minister, the session has been convened by Speaker Rampada Jamatia following a Notice of Motion submitted by 17 legislators, including Chief Whip Kalyani Saha Roy. The proposal seeks to build nationwide political consensus and urges the Central Government to promptly begin the delimitation process based on the 2011 Census.

The motion also emphasizes renewed efforts to pass the 131st Amendment Bill, which aims to reserve one-third of seats for women in both the Lok Sabha and State Legislative Assemblies.

Nath explained that the request from the 17 members led to the decision to hold the special session, considering the significance of the issue. The BAC meeting was organized to prepare for the proceedings.

He further noted that the session will begin with obituary references for former minister Kartik Kannya Debbarma and legendary singer Asha Bhosle.

Following the tributes, the BAC report will be tabled, and discussions on the main agenda will begin. Members from all parties, including CPI(M) and Congress, are expected to take part. After the motion is adopted, the Assembly plans to appeal—through the Central Government—to all political parties across the country to take up and pass the proposal, highlighting its importance.
