As the winter session of Parliament commenced Monday, marshals donned a new uniform in the Upper House — said to be the first in five decades.

Sources told The Indian Express the change was made after marshals requested a “modern” look. The designing, sources said, was done in-house.

In the Lok Sabha, however, marshals continued to wear their old uniform.
