Shiv Sena MP Proposes Virtual Parliamentary Meetings to Save Rs 100 Crore Annually

Shiv Sena MP Milind Deora has proposed holding most Parliamentary committee and PSU review meetings virtually when Parliament is not in session. This shift aims to save the government approximately Rs 100 crore annually by reducing travel, accommodation, and logistical expenses. The suggestion aligns with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's call for austerity and could also lower carbon emissions while maintaining committee efficiency through secure digital platforms.
