The Bhagwant Mann-led government on Saturday informed the governor that the issues like stubble burning, goods and services tax and power supply will be discussed in the session on September 27.
This came after the governor on Friday had asked for details of the legislative business to be taken up in the session, sparking a strong reaction from Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, who had said "it's too much".
The governor had hit back, telling Maan his legal advisors were not briefing him adequately.
The ruling AAP had targeted the governor alleging that he was acting at the behest of the BJP.
Earlier, the Governor had stopped the state government from holding a special session of the Assembly on September 22 to bring a "confidence motion".
