Legislature Secretariat to begin work in Nagpur on November 28 ahead of winter session

Preparations for the winter session of the Maharashtra legislature in Nagpur have picked up pace. The Legislature Secretariat is set to begin functioning in Nagpur on November 28, while the winter session will begin on December 7.

The district administration and the Public Works Department (PWD) have been directed to complete all necessary infrastructure and maintenance work before the session.

Officials have set November 24 and 25 as the deadline for completing work at Vidhan Bhavan, Hyderabad House, Ravi Bhavan, Nag Bhavan and the MLA Hostel.

The work includes painting, furniture repairs, maintenance and other arrangements needed to accommodate legislators, ministers, government officials and staff.

Officials and employees of the state government's Mantralaya are expected to start arriving in Nagpur two to three days before the Secretariat begins functioning.

It has been stated that contractors had not been paid for work done during the previous winter session, which delayed the preparations. Some contractors were initially reluctant to take part in the new tenders. After funds were released, however, the tender process has gathered speed.

Contractors are now waiting for work orders so that they can start the remaining work without delay.

As the Secretariat is due to start functioning on November 28, the administration is trying to ensure that all necessary arrangements are complete before government officials and legislators arrive.

The key dates are as follows: the deadline for completing essential infrastructure work is November 24 and 25. The Legislature Secretariat will begin functioning in Nagpur on November 28. The winter session of the Maharashtra legislature will begin on December 7.
