Air Pollution Debate Postponed in Lok Sabha Amid G Ram G Bill Showdown

  • Lok Sabha's scheduled air pollution debate was postponed today due to a showdown over the G Ram G Bill.
  • The Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) (VB-G RAM G) Bill, 2025, replacing MGNREGA, was passed.
  • Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan replied to the debate on the G Ram G Bill, which guarantees 125 days of rural jobs.
  • Opposition members protested, tore bill copies, and raised slogans during Chouhan's remarks, leading to Lok Sabha's adjournment.
  • Rahul Gandhi had previously sought a parliamentary discussion on air pollution, which Kiren Rijiju assured would happen.

Why It Matters: Lok Sabha's crucial air pollution debate deferred due to G Ram G Bill conflict, despite earlier assurances.
