The Lok Sabha is set to take up the Central Armed Police Forces (General Administration) Bill, 2026. The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has written to Speaker Om Birla, requesting an exemption from Rule 116, which mandates that a bill must be introduced at least two days before its consideration. The MHA cited time constraints as the reason for this request, indicating that it is not feasible to adhere to the standard procedure in this case. Rule 116 outlines that a member may move for a bill to be considered only after the stipulated notice period unless the Speaker decides otherwise. The outcome of this request will determine how the bill is handled in the Lok Sabha.
