Question hour pertained to education and provincial Education Minister Riaz Fatiana was present to answer questions asked.

Not all questions listed could be asked and answered by the minister due to interruptions like walkouts and raising of frequent points of order.

Announcing closure of the question hour, Mohal observed that "reply not received" was mentioned against a dozen questions and this was not a good practice and ordered that these questions would be repeated next time.

Provincial Health Minister Rana Ikram Rabbani was there with his right hand handaged and it could not be ascertained as to why it was so.

It was only after 8 p.m. after the house started at four in the afternoon that discussion on flood situation in the Punjab was taken up with only one out of five scheduled hours of a sitting left.

The sitting time was extended by more than an hour to enable maximum number of people from both sides of the house to take part in the discussion on flood situation which was started by the opposition member Amanullah Babar.
