The tumultuous first leg of the Budget session, which saw heated exchanges over the India-US interim trade deal and unpublished memoir of former army chief M M Naravane, concluded Friday and the House will now reassemble on March 9. The three-week recess period will allow standing committees to examine allocations to various central ministries given in the Union Budget.

Earlier in the day, the House was adjourned for one hour after Opposition members raised slogans demanding the resignation of Union Minister Hardeep Puri. The opposition members were also protesting against the India-US interim trade agreement.
