After recliners, Karnataka speaker mulls massage chairs for MLAs - NewsBytes

[Chanshimla Varah]

Last week, Speaker Khader said that he intends to hire 15 recliners for MLAs and MLCs so they can take a "quick nap" in the assembly lobby.

The move comes amid legislators often leaving the Vidhana Soudha after lunch and not returning, leading to low attendance.

Because the Assembly only functions for roughly 30 days each year, no recliner chairs will be purchased, he said. Instead, they will be hired for the session and returned when it is over.
