Uttarakhand Assembly Deputy Speaker Dr Anusuya Prasad Maikhuri has expressed hope that NBCC, which has been assigned to build Vidhan Sabha building and MlA transit hostel in Gairsain, will start construction work of Vidhan Sabha building by November 9.
Ritual will be done by Speaker Govind singh Kunjwa, chief minister Vijay Bahuguna and Garhwal MP Satpal Maharaj. Although foundation stone was laid by the Chief Minister on January 14, 2013 and remaining works were being executed but it got delayed due to disaster on June 16-17 and now 100 acres of land has been transferred for the Vidhan Sabha.
A day before Bahuguna had convened a meeting with the company and assigned Deputy speaker Dr Maikhuri to visit the spot along with company officials.
Talking about his spot visit in Vidhan Sabha, Dr Maikhuri said that with this development it has cleared that State would have Vidhan Sabha in Gairsain soon. He also stressed that NBCC officials were changed so his visit was required and now he got first hand experience about the building layout, which was decided earlier.
He also made it clear the procedure had been delayed due to disaster because that time entire Government machinery were diverted on rescue and relief work. Now things have settle down so government has decided to expedite the building works and released the fund as well.
Dr Maikhuri said that the proposed Vidhan Sabha building and MlA transit hostel will be made at the expense of Rs 80 crore. Meanwhile state government has released the said amount to the company as well. Agency has been instructed to execute the project on fast track. Meanwhile land related formalities have been completed.
Proposed Vidhan Sabha in Raipur foundation stone will be laid by the CM on November 19. He also expressed hope that with this foundation work, State would have one each Vidhan Sabha in Dehradun and Gairsain.
