The Lok Sabha was today adjourned till noon, barely a couple of minutes after it was convened for the day.

MPs from the Telugu Desam Party and the Telangana Rashtriya Samiti rushed into the Well as soon as the proceedings began.

AIADMK MPs also joined the protest over the Cauvery river issue.

Speaker Sumitra Mahajan tried to take up the Question Hour, but the uproar by lawmakers led to the adjournment of the House.

Since March 5, when Parliament had reassembled for the budget session after recess, the Lok Sabha has seen disruptions on a daily basis.

Amid noisy protests, the House had passed the Finance Bill and the appropriation bills last week without any discussion

The Rajya Sabha meanwhile was able to conduct a little business. External Affairs Minister was able to inform the house that the 39 Indians missing in Iraq had been confirmed as dead, before that house too was adjourned for the day, following protests by members of the DMK and AIADMK.

More details awaited
