The Congress is set to target the BJP over the Modi government’s failure to announce a special financial package for Himachal after the heavy rain damage to public and private property. The state government also plans to move a resolution urging the Centre to provide special relief for restoring damaged infrastructure, especially roads, bridges, and water supply schemes.
Several important Bills are likely to be tabled. A heated debate is also expected over the appointment of Vice Chancellors of the Horticulture and Agriculture Universities. Sukhu has already said the Cabinet decided to introduce a new legislation after Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla returned the earlier Bill with certain objections.
