NEW DELHI: Lok Sabha proceedings were adjourned till 2 m on Tuesday amid sloganeering and protests by Trinamool Congress and Samajwadi Party members over various issues.

Some members from the Samajwadi Party displayed placards while Trinamool Congress member Kalyan Banerjee joined them in raising slogans.

Amid the din, the specific issues that they raised could not be immediately ascertained.

Speaker Om Birla urged the Opposition members, who were in the Well, to go back to their seats.
