Tablets will be seen in front of the MLAs during the proceedings
Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on July 21 said paperless proceedings will be conducted in the upcoming Assembly session.
"Tablets will be seen in front of the MLAs during the proceedings," he added.
Mr. Khattar said e-Vidhan Sabha or paperless proceedings will also prove useful from an environmental point of view.
“This system will make the Vidhan Sabha paperless saving paper and, therefore, the trees," he said while speaking at the launch of a two-day workshop on National e-Vidhan application (NeVA) organised by the Haryana Vidhan Sabha in Panchkula, an official statement here.
The Chief Minister also said Haryana will soon get an additional assembly building.
"The paper process will be completed soon. After the construction of the new building, the existing building of Haryana Vidhan Sabha will also remain and both the buildings will be functioning in their own way," he said.
Mr. Khattar said the need for a new Vidhan Sabha building was felt due to space issues if the number of MLAs increases in the future.

The Centre has rejected reports that the definition of the Aravalli hills was changed to permit large-scale mining, citing a Supreme Court-ordered freeze on new leases. It said a court-approved framework will bring over 90% of the Aravalli region under protected areas and strengthen safeguards against illegal mining. The clarification follows controversy over the “100-metre” criterion used to define hills across states.
