Ranchi, Aug. 26 -- The third day of the supplementary monsoon session of the Jharkhand Assembly was marked by repeated disruptions, the passage of a key university bill, and a stormy debate on the devastation caused by torrential rains.

The morning session saw BJP legislators storm the Well with slogans, forcing adjournments first till noon and then again till 2 p.m.

When the House reconvened, Higher and Technical Education Minister Sudivya Kumar Sonu tabled the Jharkhand State University Bill, 2025. It was adopted by voice vote despite opposition amendments from BJP MLA Naveen Jaiswal, who sought its referral to a select committee and objected to provisions curbing the Governor's powers. His motion was defeated.
