According to reports on Friday, the Winter Session of Parliament would likely start in the first week of December in the old building and terminate by the end of the month.
The Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs will make the final decision regarding the dates, they stated, but there is a proposal to hold the session between December 7 and 29.
The government is considering a symbolic soft inauguration of the new building, which is being constructed at an estimated cost of over Rs 1,200 crore, by the end of this month or early December, according to The Indian Express’s sources, even though the session is likely to take place in the old building.

With about 20 sittings, the session typically begins in the third week of November. However, there have been times when the meeting took place in December of 2017 or 2018.
This time, the session is probably going to start in the first week of December, according to the sources.
On December 1 and 5, the Gujarat Assembly will be chosen, and on December 8, Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh will count the votes.
The government had originally hoped to finish the new structure before the start of the Winter Session, but certain construction work might take longer than expected.
The sources claimed that even after the building is fully furnished, it would take staff members 15 to 20 days to become familiar with and trained in order to fully operate the building and provide all assistance to MPs.
According to the sources, plans have already started to hold the Winter Session in the old building, and it currently appears that the Budget Session could take place in the new building next year.
More than 1,500 outdated and outdated laws will be repealed by the Center during the Winter Session, according to Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju earlier.
