The complex has a meeting hall, where all house meeting and weekly standing committee will also take place.
Standing Committee Chairman Yogender Chandolia on Wednesday said we have planned to move in the new building between December 13 to 20 and the L-G will be invited on the occasion to open the block where political wing will sit. “We will invite L-G for the inauguration. We are planning to hold a House meeting between December 13-20 and on the same date, the block will be unveiled. The L-G will also address the House. Plan has been fixed and we are waiting for the approval from L-G office,” said he.
