Parliament sat for a total of 73 days last year in three sessions but 258 of the 803 hours earmarked for business were lost due to disruptions over several issues, including price rise and corruption.
According to a study by PRS Legislative Research, Lok Sabha is scheduled to sit for six hours a day and Rajya Sabha for five hours. It meant that the Lower House had 438 hours and the Upper House 365 hours to transact business.
“Out of the available time, approximately 30 per cent time was lost to disruptions in Lok Sabha and 35 per cent in Rajya Sabha,” the study said.
