5-member committee to select place for new Assembly building

PTI | 09:03 PM,Mar 23,2011

Dehra Dun, Mar 23 (PTI) Uttarakhand Vidhan Sabha has constituted a
House committee for selecting a place for its new building. The House
committee would have five members and would submit its report to the
Speaker within two months, state Parliamentary Affairs Minister
Prakash Pant today said. The names of members would be decided by the
Speaker later, he added. He said that the Dixit Commission set up to
select a place for a permanent capital of Uttarakhand had already
given its report a year ago which has been tabled in the House but a
final decision is yet to be taken by the Assembly. An amount of Rs 88
crore sanctioned by the 13th finance commission is lying unused as the
decision is still pending, Pant said, adding, the committee would
recommend the place where a new building for Vidhan Sabha can be
constructed as the present Vidhan Sabha is quite small. Dehra Dun is
an interim capital of Uttarakhand since the new hill state came into
being on Nov 1, 2000.
