West Bengal Governor Dhankhar summons assembly at 2 pm on March 7 after fresh cabinet proposal
India Today
On Thursday, Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar summoned the West Bengal Assembly at 2 pm on March 7.
West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar on Thursday summoned the state assembly at 2 pm on March 7, ending days of impasse over the timing and other procedural issues.
An imbroglio over the timing started after Dhankhar had on February 24 summoned the assembly at 2 am on March 7 on the basis of a proposal by the Mamata Banerjee cabinet, which was later clarified as a typographical error.
"Invoking article 174 (1) of Constitution, accepting Feb 28 Cabinet Decision, Assembly has been summoned to meet on March 07, 2022 at 2.00 PM," Dhankhar tweeted.

Last week, the governor had remarked that a history of sorts was in the making, summoning the assembly at the unusual time of 2 am.
"Assembly meeting after midnight at 2.00 A.M. is unusual and history of sorts in making, but that is Cabinet Decision," Dhankhar had tweeted.
The cabinet thereafter met on February 28 and sent a fresh proposal to the governor for summoning the House at 2 pm on March 7.
