From now onwards, unruly scenes like breaking mikes and throwing on each other by MLAs will not happen. The new Assembly building which is under construction in Amaravathi is being equipped with small device in a rectangular shape called linear vocal microphone facing the members.
Bidding adieu to the use of traditional mikes, Andhra Pradesh government and Speaker K Siva Prasada Rao decided to use unbreakable small voice makers in the house. Embarrassed over increasing incidents of breaking mikes by opposition YSR Congress legislators and also ruling party MLAs during debates, Speaker decided to check such incidents in the new Assembly readying for first winter session of assembly this month.
The devices were imported from Germany and the technicians are busy fitting the equipment in the house. The device also offers in-built features like electronic voting system as a substitute to the manual form of hand raising and language interpreter enabling the translation of the speeches of members in multiple languages.
The Assembly is built on the ground floor with 225 seats in anticipation of delimitation of the Assembly constituencies by 2019 as against the strength of 175 at present.
The seating arrangement is provided for the Leader of the House on the right side of the Chair while the Leader of Opposition on the left side as is the parliamentary practice.
The first floor facing the Speaker’s podium accommodates galleries for visitors, VIPs, officials and media. Besides, two conference halls each with 60 seats and another conference hall with 250 seats have been built. Assembly#sthash.z2BlaxIA.dpuf
