NEW DELHI | December 19, 2025:- The Winter Session of Parliament, 2025, which commenced on December 1, was adjourned sine die today after concluding 15 sittings held over a 19-day period. Marked by exceptional efficiency, the session saw the Lok Sabha achieving approximately 110% productivity, while the Rajya Sabha reached an impressive 121%.
