All MLAs have been asked to prepare their identification cards in advance, and they may be shifted to either Marriott Hotel or Suryagarh Resort, sources said.

Ministers are expected to stay back and take over work. Two charter planes trips will transport all MLAs to Jaisalmer, who are to be taken to the airport in buses.
