RS to be adjourned for an hour on Monday as a mark of respect to Lata Mangeshkar

New Delhi, Feb 06: The Rajya Sabha will be adjourned for an hour on Monday as a mark of respect to legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar after the members pay tributes to her in the House, sources in the Rajya Sabha Secretariat said.

Officials said a decision has been taken that the House will be adjourned for an hour after Rajya Sabha Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu reads Mangeshkar's obituary when it meets for the day at 10 am on Monday.

The legendary singer passed away in a Mumbai hospital on Sunday morning at the age of 92. She was admitted to the hospital in January after she was down with COVID-19.
