The Lok Sabha will not end the winter session on December 21 as scheduled, but hold an additional sitting on December 22, the LS secretariat announced on Monday.

It is, however, not because of the logjam washing out the House business for five days, but in lieu of a sitting on December 5 to be cancelled on the members' request.

The House is not to sit on December 6 in view of the Muharram holiday and as such cancellation of the sitting next Monday will give a four-day break to the members of Parliament from Saturday to Tuesday. There is no other holiday during the session.
