Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann has convened a session of the Punjab Legislative Assembly from October 22 to October 27. According to the information available, the session will begin on October 22 and continue until October 27.

Several important issues concerning the state are expected to come up for discussion during the session, with particular attention on legislation related to sacrilege. The possibility of stricter legal provisions to deal with incidents of sacrilege is likely to remain a key focus.

The session may also witness discussions on other significant issues affecting Punjab. However, the exact agenda, including the bills and resolutions to be taken up, will become clear once the official program of the House is announced.
