The Himachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly in Shimla was adjourned within 10 minutes of convening following a dispute over singing the national song. Assembly Speaker Kuldeep Singh Pathania cited procedural rules to state that the national song is sung at the conclusion of the session. Opposition members raised objections regarding the timing of the national song, leading to disruptions in the House. The session was subsequently halted as proceedings failed to continue.
