MONSOON SESSION OF STATE ASSEMBLY BEGINS WITH COMPLETE CHANGE IN SEATING ARRANGEMENTS

The monsoon session of Goa state Assembly began on Monday with a complete overhaul in the seating arrangements. The House with the seat designated for Leader of Opposition remained vacant as its past occupant took a seat next to the state Chief Minister. First time after Goa attained statehood, the number of opposition members has come down to only about one-fourth in the 40-member House.
