A decision to convene the special session is likely to be formally taken by the state cabinet soon.

Governor Anandiben Patel would convene the session on the recommenda­tion of the state cabinet.

Yogi has already asked senior officers to make arrangemen­ts for live telecast of the special session. The state government is likely to formulate a programme for the session once it is convened.

Speaker Hridaya Narayan Dikshit said he would be able to further details once the governor convenes the session.

An all-party meeting is likely to be convened here on November 8 to seek cooperatio­n of leaders of all the political parties.

This will be second special session of state legislatur­e in 2019.
