In a serious security lapse, a man managed to enter the Parliament House on Friday, August 22, morning by climbing a tree and scaling the wall. The incident occurred around 6:30 am, raising concerns over the safety of the high-security complex.
According to officials, the intruder jumped over the wall from the Rail Bhavan side and reached the Garuda Gate of the new Parliament building. He was soon caught by security personnel and is currently being interrogated.
The breach took place just a day after the monsoon session of Parliament concluded. The session, which began on July 21 and ran for a month, saw 21 sittings, but frequent disruptions left only 37 hours and 7 minutes of effective business.
