LS Secretariat Prepares To Induct Members Of 18th Lok Sabha
An endeavour has been made to deploy LOs from the same region/language to facilitate members and ensure faster communication
As the 2024 Lok Sabha elections come to an end, Secretary General of Lok Sabha Utpal Kumar Singh inspected the preparations today to welcome members of the eighteen Lok Sabha and is monitoring the arrangements on a day-to-day basis.
To reduce the paperwork and make the registration formalities of Members seamless, the registration process of the newly elected Members shall be done through an online integrated software application.
To minimise complications arising out of the multi-desks approach of the past, all formalities relating to the registration, nominations, transit accommodation and a host of other matters are proposed to be got completed with minimum movement of members.
The Secretariat has made arrangements from 2 pm on 24 June and the process will remain operational from 10 am to 8 pm from 5 to 14 June 2024 including on Saturdays and Sundays.
Earlier, the registration of newly elected members used to take place in the old Parliament House building (now Samvidhan Sadan). This time, the Secretariat has made such arrangements in the Parliament House Annexe.
A team has been assigned the task of keeping a close tab on the Election Commission website on the day of the declaration of results and entering the contact details of successful candidates in near real-time. The team using a software application would be able to check whether the successful candidate is a new MP or a re-elected MP. The same information would be shared with Liaison Officers (Los) through software applications to make further data entry of their tour programs.
The dashboard would be available for the stakeholders to get updated information in near real-time.
An endeavour has been made to deploy LOs from the same region/language to facilitate members and ensure faster communication.
The LOs have been briefed to reach out to the Members, specifically newly elected Members, to sensitize them to bring a specific set of documents. Members will also be requested to forward certain information either through email at "computercentrelss@sansad.nic.in" or in hard copy to Los.
In a progressive stride from past practices, a software-based computerized system for the allotment of Transit Accommodation to Members of the 18th Lok Sabha in the Western Court Annexe/Hostel or State/UT Bhawans/Guest Houses has been implemented.
Accommodation desks have been set up at Parliament House Complex to allot transit accommodation to the newly elected Members. The services of the accommodation desk will be available 24X7.
Guideposts have been set up at all three domestic terminals at IGI Airport and Railway Stations at Delhi, New Delhi, Nizamuddin and Anand Vihar (June 4 to June 9 - tentative) to receive elected Members of 18th Lok Sabha and to render them necessary help/services that they may require.
The Guideposts at Airports/Railway Station(s) will function on 4 June 2024 (06.00 pm to 11.00 pm) (one shift) and from 5 June 2024 to 9 June 2024 (from 05.00 pm to 02.00 pm and 02.00 pm to 11.00 pm (in two shifts). The staff of Lok Sabha Secretariat have been deployed to perform duties at Guideposts at the Airport and Railway Station(s).
Transport facilities will also be available at Airports and Railway Station(s) for ferrying Members to the Parliament House Complex or the Guest Houses as the case may be.
CGHS Medical Posts will function on 24X7 basis in North Avenue & South Avenue and near Western Court Annexe/Hostel at Telegraph lane to extend Medical facilities to the Members.
In addition, Ambulance services will also be available 24X7. In case of any medical emergency/sudden illness of Member(s), the nearby hospitals have also been sensitised. (ANI)
