In the wake of rising coronavirus cases in Maharashtra, the monsoon session of the state legislature will now start from September 7 and not from August 3 as scheduled earlier.

An official yesterday said that the decision was taken at a meeting of the business advisory committee, comprising representatives of ruling and opposition



parties, held in Mumbai. The session was originally scheduled for June 22 which then got pushed back to August 3 and now to September 7. 

Incidentally, the Budget session of the legislature in March was curtailed from scheduled four weeks to three weeks.
