Lok Sabha Passes Bill that Seeks to Push Theaterisation
The Lok Sabha passed a bill that seeks to empower the government to notify the setting up of inter-services organisations, including joint services commands, and bestow powers on heads of such organisations to act against personnel from any of the three services to ensure discipline and effective discharge of duties.
The Inter-Services Organisations (Command, Control and Discipline) Bill, 2023, was passed by the Lower House amid a renewed push for theaterisation, a long-awaited military reform for the best use of the military's resources to fight future wars.
The bill seeks to bestow powers on the commander-in-chief, officer-in-command or any other officer heading a tri-services organisation to take disciplinary and administrative action against personnel under them who are currently governed by the respective laws of the three services - the Army Act, 1950, the Air Force Act, 1950, and the Navy Act, 1957.

Lok Sabha Passes National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill, 2023
The Delhi services bill, officially known as The Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill, 2023, was passed in the Lok Sabha, resulting in opposition MPs staging a walkout as a protest.
If passed in the Rajya Sabha too, the Delhi services bill will replace an existing ordinance that overrides a Supreme Court order giving the Delhi Government control over most services. The ordinance has been a major flashpoint between Arvind Kejriwal's AAP and the Centre.
The Delhi services bill was passed after a nearly four-hour-long debate which was replied to by Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
Shah made it clear that the central government has the power to make laws on Union territories and Delhi, being a Union Territory, the Centre enjoys full rights to make rules also.
