  By Usman Toheeb. During the last semester, the FHR, which is constitutionally required to hold sittings fortnightly, convened only twice due to the consistently low turnout of Honourable members. Both the virtual and physical meetings scheduled within the semester were cancelled owing to the unavailability of members to form a quorum.
