Lok Sabha proceedings were adjourned till 12 noon amid protests by Opposition members just after the House met for the day on Wednesday.

Opposition MPs were on their feet as soon as the House assembled at 11 am, raising slogans and demanding a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probe in the Adani issue.

They displayed placards as some Opposition members trooped into the Well of the House.  Bhartruhari Mahtab, who was in the Chair at the time, adjourned the House till 12 noon amid the noisy protest. 

The treasury and Opposition benches are at loggerheads over the Adani issue and the disqualification of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi from the lower house.

Since the start of the second leg of the Budget Session on March 13, Lok Sabha has been witnessing frequent disruptions with Opposition members demanding a JPC probe.

The Question Hour has been disrupted every day since March 13.
