The three-day monsoon session of the Nagaland Legislative Assembly is set to begin on Tuesday, with a recess scheduled for Wednesday. According to the assembly secretariat, the session will address legislative business, government reports, and discussions on issues of public importance, including Question Hour and other listed matters.
