New Delhi, May 3 (IANS) The Lok Sabha has been a "part of my life and I will miss it", outgoing Speaker Sumitra Mahajan said on Friday as she held the last official meeting to review the preparedness for the next House.

Last month Mahajan, a eight time Lok Sabha MP, announced she did not want to contest the lower house elections anymore. 

This is the first meeting of Mahajan with Lok Sabha officials after her decision. 

Addressing the media after the meeting, Mahajan said the preparedness for the 17th Lok Sabha has begun. 

The first-time MPs would be given rule books and Constitution books, she said, adding separate reception will be set up at the railway stations and airports for the Parliamentarians.
