Legislature session in Belagavi likely from December 4

Hubballi: Legislative Assembly Speaker U T Khader said that the winter session of the state legislature is likely to be held at Suvarna Vidhana Soudha in Belagavi from December 4.

“An official announcement will come soon. This session may be held for around 12 days and it will focus on the issues of North Karnataka and aspirations of the people of this region,” he told media persons in the city on Friday.
