Congress leader Rakesh Kalia expressed his gratitude to

the CM for providing Rs 42 crore for funding the Zilla Parishad and Panchayat Samitis.

Chief Parliamentary Secretary (CPS), Rohit Thakur said that 80 per cent work had been done on the Theog-Hatkoti road and it would be completed this year.

During BJP's regime only 18 per cent of the road was completed, he said.

Participating in the debate BJP MLA Baldev Singh Tomar claimed that though the state has been declared as Open Defecation Free (ODF), the truth is none of the 48 Panchayats in Shillai are ODF.

Accusing the government of overburdening the state exchequer by appointing chairman, vice chairman and advisors, BJP leader Inder Singh asked the Chief Minister whether he needs advisors even after being elected to the post six times.
