Vidhan Sabha winter session from Dec 18 at Dharamsala

The winter session of the Himachal Pradesh Vidhan Sabha will be held at Dharamsala from December 18 to 21.

“The winter session will have a total of four sittings,” said Vidhan Sabha Speaker Kuldeep Pathania here today. He said this would be the seventh session of the present Assembly. Pathania said he would soon visit Dharamsala to review the arrangements for the smooth conduct of the Assembly session.

The Speaker — on his return after a tour abroad — said here today that he had given his consent for the session on receiving the proposal from the government for the holding of the winter session. “I had issued guidelines to the Kangra district administration while I was abroad to make the arrangements for holding the session at Tapovan in Dharamsala,” he said.

Earlier, the Speaker was welcomed by Deputy Chief Whip Kewal Singh Pathania and MLA Malendra Rajan and the officers and employees of the Assembly. The Speaker said his visit to several countries, including Australia and Japan, was informative.
