The Lok Sabha will convene at 10 am instead of the usual 4 pm on Saturday, Speaker Om Birla has announced.

The Rajya Sabha had been meeting at 9 am due to Covid-19 distancing norms.

Since the Upper House went into recess on Friday and would reconvene only on March 8, the Lok Sabha would meet in the morning.

Birla announced the new timing in the House on Friday after the Question Hour.

Some Rajya Sabha members also sit in the Lok Sabha chamber.

The Lok Sabha has been meeting at 4 pm and some of its members sit in the RS chamber to maintain social distancing amid the pandemic outbreak.

The new shift in Parliament came into place in the Monsoon session. There was no winter session.

The lower house will go into recess on Saturday evening and reconvene on March 8.
