A part of the rules of procedure

An informal device
-
D.
A scheduled event
Correct Answer:
C. An informal device
Explanation:
The concept of Zero Hour is a unique Indian parliamentary innovation that began in 1962. It serves as an informal mechanism, as it is not officially documented in the Rules of Procedure or the Constitution. This period represents the time gap between the conclusion of the Question Hour and the start of the House's scheduled agenda. During this time, Members of Parliament can raise urgent matters of public importance spontaneously without the requirement of a formal advance notice.
