Thiruvananthapuram: The cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Thursday decided to suspend the special one day sitting of the Kerala Legislative Assembly scheduled for July 27. The one day special session was called to pass the Finance Bill as according to the rules it has to be passed latest by July 29. Following the suspension of the announced one day session, the cabinet decided to pass an Ordinance to effect the passing of the Bill. One reason being given for the decision is the rising number of Covid-19 cases in the state. As around 47 Legislators, including Chief Minister Vijayan, Congress veteran Oommen Chandy and also a few other cabinet ministers, are above 65 years, it was not found to be advisable to convene the Assembly.
