Lotus-printed shirt & khaki trouser as new dress code for Parliament staff: Read what else is expected

As the special session of Parliament approaches, significant changes are on the horizon for the dress code of security guard staff and secretariat employees of both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha. These changes come in anticipation of the proceedings relocating to the new Parliament building during this special session, with its inauguration scheduled for September 19, coinciding with Ganesh Chaturthi.

Security personnel assigned to Parliament will undergo commando training, and their traditional safari suits will be replaced by military-style camouflage clothing for enhanced security measures.

Likewise, secretariat employees will see a transformation in their attire. The customary "bandgala" suits will make way for Nehru jackets featuring lotus logos, paired with khaki-colored trousers.

Furthermore, reports suggest that marshalls in both the Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha will adopt Manipuri or Kannada turbans as part of their updated uniform.

The upcoming special session of Parliament, slated for September 18-22, has sparked various speculations regarding its agenda. Rumors range from proposals to make 'Bharat' the official name by omitting 'India,' discussions on 'One Nation One Election,' to the possibility of tabling bills related to women's reservation and the Uniform Civil Code (UCC). The precise legislative focus of the session remains a topic of intense discussion and anticipation.
