Manipuri turbans, Khaki-coloured pants, lotus motif: Govt’s New Dress Code for Parliament

The new dress codes are for the chamber attendants, officers, security personnel, drivers, and marshals of both houses, the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha

Ahead of the special parliament session from September 18 to 22, the dress code for parliament employees underwent a significant alteration.

The good news is that Manipuri turbans are also part of the new dress code.

The new dress codes are for the chamber attendants, officers, security personnel, drivers, and marshals of both houses, the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha. They will wear this uniform during the special session of parliament.

According to reports, the sartorial makeover was done solely to give the bureaucrats and employees of the parliament a taste of “Indianness” in their clothing. The uniform has been created by the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT).
