Six unemployed youths orchestrated the major security breach in the Lok Sabha, spraying yellow gas during a session. The 5th suspect, Vishal Sharma, was apprehended in Gurugram, while the 6th remains at large, other 4 suspects were arrested earlier. All accused, including those who infiltrated the Parliament, were unemployed with diverse backgrounds. The breach, occurring on the anniversary of the 2001 Parliament attack, raised concerns about the security system. The Delhi police, invoking UAPA, charged the suspects, who claimed dissatisfaction over the farmers' protest, Manipur crisis, and unemployment. The Home Ministry has ordered an inquiry, leading to an overhaul of Parliament serity protocol.  

Delhi Police reveal that six individuals, acquainted for four years, meticulously planned the Lok Sabha security breach. Sagar Sharma and Manoranjan D leaped from the visitors' gallery, releasing yellow gas during Zero Hour. Simultaneously, Anmol and Neelam chanted slogans outside. All four, arrested promptly, had stayed in a Gurugram house. Lalit and Vikram, suspected accomplices, are being sought. A parliament secretariat request for a security review and high-level inquiry follows the breach. Leaders highlight security protocol shortcomings at an all-party meeting. The incident coincided with the 22nd anniversary of the 2001 Parliament terror attacks, raising heightened concerns.

According to the latest ManpowerGroup Employment Outlook Survey, India leads in global hiring optimism with a Net Employment Outlook (NEO) of 37%, surpassing 41 nations. Strong domestic demand fuels this surge, projecting a robust job market for January-March 2024. The Financial and Real Estate industry exhibits the brightest outlook (45%), followed by IT and Consumer Goods. However, a talent shortage persists, with 81% of Indian employers facing challenges in finding skilled talent. To address this, companies are embracing work flexibility, raising wages, and seeking talent with expertise in IT, Sales, Engineering, Operations, and HR.

Parliament security rules have been overhauled after the alarming breach on Wednesday when intruders released smoke in the Lok Sabha gallery and charged toward the Speaker's chair. The complex is now closed to visitors as protocols are strengthened, designating separate entrances for MPs, staff, press and future visitor batches. Additionally, the visitors' gallery will be enclosed in glass to prevent more chamber intrusions. New body scanners akin to airport checks will also be installed across the Parliament premises to bolster safety measures after the glaring security lapses that exposed grave vulnerabilities requiring an urgent response. The multi-pronged strategy aims to reinforce parliamentary access control and prevent repeat infiltrations.

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor made a startling allegation that the two men who breached Lok Sabha security were "apparently sponsored by a sitting MP of the ruling party." Demanding answers after the audacious security lapse, Tharoor said the intruders "smuggled in smoke pistols," showing "a serious security lapse." He slammed the new Parliament building's safeguards compared to the old one. Noting the breach came on the 2001 attack anniversary, Tharoor said "the matter is serious enough that the Home Minister may want to explain." Earlier, reports emerged that Bharatiya Janata Party MP Pratap Simha had issued a visitor's pass to Sagar Sharma, one of the men. Visuals showed Sharma's pass was obtained through Simha's office, raising suspicions the trespassers faked intentions while seeking entry. 

Several members of parliament expressed concerns after a “terrible” security breach inside the Lok Sabha on the 22nd anniversary of the 2001 Parliament attacks. "Does it prove that we failed to maintain a high level of security?...All the MPs fearlessly nabbed the two people but I want to know where were the security officials when all of this happened?” asked Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge called it “a serious issue,” questioning how two people entered “despite such elaborate security.” TMC MP Sudip Bandopadhyay called it “a terrible experience,” wondering about their motive. Speaker Om Birla said a probe is underway, assuring “In the primary investigation, it has been found that it was just a smoke and there is no need to worry about the smoke.”

The two men who triggered a security breach in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday have been identified as Sagar Sharma and D Manoranjan. Sharma is the son of Shankarlal Sharma, while 35-year-old Manoranjan is the son of D Devaraj. The two detained outside Parliament are Neelam, a 42-year-old woman, and Amol Shinde, 25. Manoranjan is a computer science graduate from Mysuru. One detained outside is reportedly from Haryana's Hisar. All four have been arrested as Delhi Police anti-terror cell leads an investigation. At 1:02 pm, the men set off smoke canisters while one intruder jumped from the visitors' gallery into the chamber before being cornered. Furious opposition MPs questioned the breach, as the smoke could have been toxic. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla has vowed a thorough probe into the incident.

A major security breach occurred in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday when two intruders disrupted proceedings – coincidentally shortly after Khalistani separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun threatened to attack Parliament before December 13. While no direct connection has been established between the incidents, the timing raises concerns. Pannun recently claimed a foiled plot to kill him, and released a video featuring a poster alongside pictures of Afzal Guru and the words “Delhi bangea Khalistan.” As MPs panicked Wednesday, two other intruders were nabbed outside Parliament. Speaker Om Birla said belongings were seized from all four, but the breach provokes uneasy questions about a possible Khalistani link.

After two intruders disrupted Lok Sabha proceedings, reports emerged that Bharatiya Janata Party MP Pratap Simha had issued a visitor's pass to Sagar Sharma, one of the men. Visuals showed Sharma's pass was obtained through Simha's office, raising suspicions the trespassers faked intentions while seeking entry. Apparently targeting the government with slogans, the men jumped from the visitor's gallery, set off yellow smoke, and tried approaching the Speaker's chair before being subdued. Later, two other protestors shouted identical slogans and activated smoke canisters at Vijay Chowk. The security breach provoked alarm across party lines over lapses allowing access to restricted areas. An investigation is underway into the passes' issuance through deception.

Chaos erupted in Lok Sabha on Wednesday when two people carrying gas canisters jumped from the visitors' gallery into the House chamber. Initial reports said they released yellow smoke, causing panic on the anniversary of the 2001 Parliament attack. One intruder named Sagar sprayed an eye and lung irritant while shouting slogans before being overpowered by MPs, said witnesses like Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury and Karti Chidambaram. Trinamool's Kakoli Dastidar confirmed overhearing chants during the frightening security breach that sent lawmakers rushing out. The dramatic incident halted parliamentary proceedings pending an investigation into the alarming vulnerabilities.
