Barring Assembly sessions, the Assembly Secretariat has working hours from 9.30 am to 5 pm now.

According to a notification issued by the Assam Assembly Secretariat with approval from Speaker Biswajit Daimary, there will be a coordination cell to work 24X7 in the Assembly Secretariat so that no issue is left unattended, even on holidays.
