Zero hour in Parliament
Explanation:
Zero Hour, the time of a sitting session of India's Lok Sabha immediately following the Question Hour. It starts at around 12 noon (hence the name) and members can, with prior notice to the Speaker, raise issues of importance during this time.
The total time allocated for Zero Hour is 30 minutes wherein a member gets three minutes to raise the issue. The session should be completed before 1 pm. As per the rules of procedure of Parliament duration of zero hour is not specified but in most of the situation it took place from 12:00 to 13:00.
