The Lok Sabha on Tuesday passed the long-pending Bill to provide reservation for Scheduled Tribes (STs) in the Goa Legislative Assembly, even as Opposition protests over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar continued to disrupt proceedings. 

The legislation, titled 'The Readjustment of Representation of Scheduled Tribes in Assembly Constituencies of the State of Goa Bill, 2025', was moved for consideration and passage by Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal.

Despite the din in the House, the Bill was adopted through a voice vote, marking the first legislative success of the on-going Monsoon Session.
