Siddaramaiah to inaugurate new Vidhana Soudha entrance on March 25
Bengaluru: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah will inaugurate the new main entrance of the Vidhana Soudha in Bengaluru on March 25, Speaker U.T. Khader said on Saturday.
According to The Times of India, speaking to reporters, Khader said the entrance has been developed with intricate Karnataka-style architecture through the Karnataka Forest Development Corporation and the Public Works Department (PWD).
He said solar panels installed to partially supply energy to Vidhana Soudha will also be inaugurated on the same day.
Khader further said the PWD has floated tenders to develop additional entrances near the grand steps and on the High Court side of Vidhana Soudha, and the works will be taken up shortly.
Responding to a query on a proposed dog shelter for stray dogs within the Vidhana Soudha premises, Khader said the proposal is pending with the government and will have to be finalised by it.
