The much-awaited monsoon session of the Maharashtra legislature will be held between August 17 to 23 in Mumbai, officials said on Monday.

However, the effective sittings will be for five days only as the Legislative Assembly and the Legislative Council do work on the weekends.

Earlier, the monsoon session was supposed to begin on July 18 but was deferred after the collapse of the Maha Vikas Aghadi government led by Uddhav Thackeray.
