Lok Sabha was adjourned sine die on August 13, but prorogation had still not been issued 10 days later.
Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh described the delay as abnormal and questioned why the notification had not been released.
The reporting says the usual gap between adjournment sine die and prorogation is two to four days.
The coverage notes that longer gaps have occurred before, including 28 days in 2015 and 20 days in 2021.

Ramesh suggested the delay could be connected to efforts around a delimitation Bill and a possible search for a two-thirds majority.
The government denied plans for a special session, while the article frames the dispute as a question of parliamentary timing and political intent.
