The Centre has notified the implementation of the Women’s Reservation Act, 2023, bringing into force the provision for 33 per cent reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies from April 16. However, officials clarified that the quota will not be implemented immediately, as it remains linked to a delimitation exercise based on the next Census.

The development comes amid a heated Lok Sabha debate, where Congress MP Shashi Tharoor criticised linking the quota to delimitation.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated Harivansh Narayan Singh on his re-election, as the Opposition boycotted the process alleging lack of consultation.
