The Delhi Legislative Assembly is set to hold the second sitting of its eighth Assembly's sixth session on Monday, 11 August 2026, with the possible introduction of up to three bills cleared by the Business Advisory Committee during the ongoing Monsoon Session. The sitting comes days after the committee finalised the legislative agenda covering public service delivery, urban shelter, and hospitality regulation.
Bills on the Table
The Business Advisory Committee, which met on 5 August, approved three bills for introduction. The first is 'The Delhi (Right of Citizen to Time Bound Delivery of Services) Bill, 2026', which proposes repealing the Delhi (Right of Citizens to Time Bound Services) Act, 2011. The second seeks to amend Section 2, Clause (g), Sub-clause (iii) of the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board Act, 2010, read with its amendment acts of 2015 and 2020. The third proposes repealing 'The National Capital Territory of Delhi (Incredible India) Bed and Breakfast Establishments (Registration and Regulation) Act, 2007' along with its amendment acts of 2010 and 2021.
What the Government Will Table
Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta confirmed that Power Minister Ashish Sood will also place before the House the notification and corrigendum relating to the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (Terms and Conditions for Open Access) (Second Amendment) Regulations, 2026. This regulatory update is separate from the three bills and will be laid on the table rather than debated.
CAG Report and Political Context
The session has already generated political heat. On Friday, a Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report was tabled in the House, highlighting alleged financial irregularities in the Delhi government under the previous Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) administration. The tabling of the CAG findings is likely to set the tone for opposition exchanges during Monday's sitting.
Security and Procedural Arrangements
Speaker Gupta said the Delhi Legislative Assembly Secretariat has completed all arrangements for an orderly session. All member notices under the Rules will be submitted digitally via the NeVA Portal, with support available through the Notice Branch and the NeVA Sewa Kendra. Members seeking to raise matters under Rule 280 must file notices by 5 pm on the preceding working day.
On the security front, hydraulic road blockers are being installed at all entry gates, access-control points are being reinforced, and a Quick Response Team of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has been deployed. Entry to the Assembly premises will be regulated through Gate Number 1, with remaining gates restricted to streamline movement. Speaker Gupta appealed to all members to adhere to prescribed procedures to ensure productive proceedings across the three-day session.
