Tamil Nadu bans Mobile Phones in State Assembly
The Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly Speaker D Jayakumar issued a directive to ban carrying of cellphones
into the chamber hall and its lobbies for all its members, including ministers, and the reporters covering
the House proceedings. Separate lockers have been installed for Members to deposit their phones before
entering the House.
Why this move was made?
 The move comes in the wake of a DMK member using his mobile phone to record assembly proceedings and
being banned for a brief period from the House.
 The decision also comes as a result of the scam in the Karnataka assembly when some ministers were allegedly
caught watching porn clips on their Mobiles.
