Explanation

The Speaker of Lok Sabha and the Chairman of Rajya Sabha have the authority to adjourn their respective houses. This power is derived from Article 108(4) of the Constitution and the rules of procedure and conduct of business in each house. The President does not directly adjourn the houses - that power rests with the presiding officers.
