Issues relating to water conservation and Centre's proposed National Exit Test (NEXT) for final year MBBS students are likely to come up for discussion in the two-day special session of Puducherry Assembly beginning Monday.

The session has been reconvened by Speaker V P Sivakolundhu and official sources said it would discuss issues relating to water conservation and water management in the Union Territory, official sources said.

Chief Minister V Narayanasamy had taken strong exception to the National Medical Commission bill, which envisages NEXT,

saying the initiative was a clear infringement on the rights of the states.
