Delhi Rains: Congress Member of Parliament (MP) Manickam Tagore has given an adjournment motion notice in Lok Sabha suggesting to form a specialised committee, comprising all party lawmakers, to inspect the Parliament building thoroughly following water leaks inside the lobby on July 31 due to heavy rains.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The recent water leakage in the Parliament lobby used by the President highlights urgent weather resilience issues in the new building, which was just a year after completion, said Tagore, sharing a video of water inside the Parliament lobby in the new building. Tagore, who represents Virudhunagar in Tamil Nadu, is also Congress party’s whip in Lok Sabha.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
