Bill to provide representation to STs in Goa assembly likely to be tabled in Lok Sabha

The 'Readjustment of Representation of Scheduled Tribes Bill, 2024' is expected to be introduced in the Lok Sabha this week, aiming to provide reservation to Scheduled Tribes in the Goa Legislative Assembly. The bill empowers the census commissioner to notify the population of STs in Goa and will amend the Delimitation of Parliamentary and Assembly Constituencies Order, 2008 to allow ST reservation in the 40-member assembly.
