New Delhi, Mar 23 :, Rajya Sabha Chairman, M Venkaiah Naidu, on Monday, called a meeting of leaders in Upper House, to take stock of the situation over the spread of Coronavirus and duration of the ongoing Budget session.
According to Rajya Sabha Secretariat, the leaders would discuss about the postponement of the proceedings of the House, in the wake of the spread of the virus.

Earlier, the leaders of Opposition parties, including the Congress, the Trinamool Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) had demanded to Mr Naidu to halt the session, citing the threat of coronavirus.
