With an ‘Indian’ touch including ‘Nehru jackets’ and khaki-coloured pants and much more, Indian parliament staff will have new uniforms as they move to the new Parliament building next week for the special session.
The National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) has created this uniform. The bureaucrats’ bandhgala suit will be replaced with a magenta or deep pink Nehru jacket. Their shirts will also be in a deep pink colour with a lotus flower design. The employees will don khaki-coloured pants.
Apart from this, the dress of the marshals in both houses has also been changed and they will wear Manipuri turbans. The attire of the security personnel at the Parliament building will also be changed. Instead of safari suits, they will be given camouflage dresses, similar to the military.
The uniform change was supposed to happen in the last parliament session but could not be done for reasons unknown.
