The proceedings are set to resume today and both the Houses of Parliament are expected to witness discussions over Wayanad landslides and cloudburst that occurred in Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
The budget session of Parliament began on July 22 and, according to schedule, will end on August 12.
The Lok Sabha Secretariat on Thursday said a minor water leak in the new Parliament building was due to displacement of an adhesive material used to fix glass domes over the lobby and corrective measures were taken immediately.
This came as several opposition members shared videos of the leaking roof of the new Parliament building and questioned the weather resilience of the structure.
"During the heavy rain on Wednesday, the adhesive material used to fix the glass domes over the Lobby of the Building was slightly displaced, causing minor leakage of water in the Lobby," the Lok Sabha Secretariat said in a statement, as quoted by news agency PTI. It said the problem was detected timely and corrective measures were taken immediately.
"Thereafter, no further leakage of water has been noticed," the Lok Sabha Secretariat said. Heavy rains in the national capital region on Wednesday caused water logging in several parts of the city.
The Lok Sabha Secretariat said the water had accumulated opposite Makar Dwar of the Parliament building and it also got drained out quickly. It said that glass domes were incorporated in several parts of the new building keeping in view the concept of Green Parliament so that abundant natural light could be utilized in day to day work of the Parliament.
Meanwhile, Union Food and Consumer Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi told reporters, "It's a very huge building (new parliament) which you all have seen it. There may be small things. Where the things have gone wrong, CPWD will have a look at it". He was asked about the video shared by Opposition members. The CPWD (Central Public Works Department) is under the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs.
