Bhopal Assembly Speaker Narendra Singh Tomar Says E-Assembly Will Boost Transparency, Improve Public Grievance Redressal As MLA Questions Rise From 700 To 4,000

Bhopal Assembly Speaker Narendra Singh Tomar announced on Wednesday that the E-Assembly system would enhance legislative efficiency and transparency, while aiding in addressing public grievances. Delivering his remarks at the inauguration of a training program for legislators under the National e-Vidhan Application (NeVA) in Bhopal, Tomar expressed his long-standing efforts towards digitization and its completion.

Previously, MLAs submitted written questions, with the average count being 700 per session. The implementation of the online system has resulted in an increase to 4,000 questions per session, Tomar remarked. These 4,000 questions embody the voice of each member's constituency, he added.

Tomar emphasized the necessity of keeping pace with the times to progress, acknowledging the opposing views on new technologies. Nevertheless, he expressed satisfaction that, due to all members' participation, the project was progressing. He further mentioned that the Madhya Pradesh legislative assembly would now be visible on the National e-Vidhan Application (NeVA).

Additionally, Bhopal's VIP Zone faced a breach when a sandalwood tree was stolen from an IAS officer's bungalow adjacent to the DGP's residence, with two suspects identified by CCTV footage.
