Punjab Assembly Holds Special Session, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann Goes Live from Chandigarh

In a significant move, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann addressed the state during a special session of the Punjab Vidhan Sabha held in Chandigarh. The live broadcast, announced via his official social media handle, emphasized key legislative discussions and urgent state matters that warranted the special assembly sitting.

Focus on Key Issues

While details of the agenda are yet to be formally disclosed, sources indicate that the special session focused on pressing issues such as:

Drug crackdown and law enforcement

Recent administrative reforms

State-federal relations regarding Chandigarh

Public welfare schemes under the Mann government

The special session comes at a time when the Punjab government is actively pursuing structural reforms and increased transparency. Mann’s decision to go live is being seen as an effort to promote greater public engagement and legislative accountability.

Strengthening Democratic Dialogue

CM Bhagwant Mann reiterated his commitment to democratic processes and transparency, stating that the Punjab Assembly remains a vital platform for raising the voice of the people and resolving issues that directly impact daily lives.

This live address marked another step in his government’s strategy to bring governance closer to the public and maintain constant dialogue with citizens, especially on topics that require immediate political consensus and action.

Further details from the special session are expected to be released in an official government bulletin. 

Mann’s decision to make the session accessible via live broadcast reflects his government’s attempt to include citizens in real-time policy discussions. Political analysts see this move as part of the Aam Aadmi Party’s broader strategy to project transparency, especially ahead of upcoming local body and panchayat elections.

By live-streaming the special session, Mann is also challenging the traditional opacity of legislative procedures, attempting to bridge the gap between lawmakers and the public. His government has consistently positioned itself as one that delivers visible governance and remains accountable to voters.
