Following a floor leaders' meeting in the room of Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, it has been decided that the House will run smoothly from Wednesday, without any disruption, ANI reported.

The Lok Sabha was adjourned for the day at 2:05pm due to opposition protests over Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.

Dilip Saika, who was in the Chair, urged opposition MPs to maintain decorum.

Despite his appeals, proceedings could not continue due to continuous protests by opposition members.
