Decision taken to end the session today
At the end of the session, Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh said that this session has ended with bitter-sweet experiences. In view of the disasters in Himachal in the month of August, I hope that from now on, there will be a consideration to hold the monsoon session in September and not in August.

Himachal Pradesh is going through a period of disaster
Leader of the Opposition Jai Ram Thakur said that there is no doubt that the session went on for a long time. The opposition gets a chance to put forth its point in the House. Today Himachal Pradesh is going through a period of disaster. Along with this, Himachal is also going through a period of economic crisis. The economic burden on Himachal has reached one lakh crore. The Chief Minister repeatedly says that work is being done towards making the state self-reliant but its results have not come out.
Ready to ask for help from the centre
The CM should stop blaming the opposition for the state of the state. Instead, he should move forward by taking everyone’s opinion so that the state can be taken forward in the right direction. Sukhu government is closing down institutions citing lack of resources, which is wrong. In view of the disaster, the opposition is standing with the government and is also ready to ask for help from the centre for the state’s benefit.
