The Uttarakhand Legislative Assembly is set to reconvene today with a Rs 7,000‑crore supplementary budget slated for discussion.
The Uttarakhand Legislative Assembly is scheduled to resume its session today after a brief recess, marking the start of the state's legislative calendar for the year. Lawmakers will gather at the Vidhan Bhavan in Dehradun to deliberate on pending matters and introduce new initiatives.
A key item on the agenda is a supplementary budget of approximately Rs 7,000 crore, which the state finance department plans to table. The additional allocation is intended to address shortfalls in ongoing projects and fund priority sectors such as health, education, and infrastructure development.
While the ruling party has emphasized the necessity of the extra funds to sustain development programmes, opposition legislators have called for a detailed scrutiny of the proposal, seeking clarity on the sources of financing and the expected impact on the state's fiscal health. The session is expected to continue for several weeks, with further debates on the budget and other legislative business.
