New Dress Code For Parliament Staff: Marshals To Get Kurtas, Security Officials New Uniforms

As the new Parliament building gears up for its inaugural session, staff members are expected to receive updated uniforms as part of several changes.

Among these modifications, Marshals in Parliament will exchange their safari suits for cream-colored kurtas, while the PGD (Parliamentary Guard Directorate), responsible for the security of Parliament, will also adopt a fresh uniform. Female employees will receive new sarees, replacing the old ones.

As per a report from the Times of India, male employees at the Parliament House will don cream-colored jackets adorned with pink lotus prints. Complementing these jackets, they will wear khaki trousers.

This newly designed uniform has been crafted by the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT). Bureaucrats who previously wore bandhgala suits will now be attired in Majenta or deep pink Nehru jackets. Their shirts will also feature a deep pink hue with lotus flower designs. Completing their ensemble, employees will sport khaki-colored pants.

Additionally, the attire for the marshals in both houses of Parliament has been revised, and they will now wear Manipuri turbans.

The new Parliament building, inaugurated by Prime Minister Modi on June 1, is set to host its first session on September 19, coinciding with the second day of the Special Session of Parliament.

This session's move to the new building will occur on September 19, which aligns with Ganesh Chaturthi, as reported by the news agency ANI.

The five-day special session is expected to feature the introduction of bills related to women's reservation and 'one nation-one election.' Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi has convened this special session from September 18 to 22. The session's agenda will be released soon.
