The Congress party is planning to raise its strong opposition on the issue of regular increase of power tariffs in state during the special session of assembly on Tuesday.
A meeting of Congress legislative party was held in the chamber of Leader of Opposition (LoP), Indira Hridayesh on Monday to discuss the strategy of the party during the special session of the party.

The LoP said that the party would also raise the issue of shifting of National Cadet Corps (NCC) academy from Devprayag to Pauri. “Former minister and Congress leader Mantri Prasad Naithani is leading an agitation on it we would raise the issue in the assembly,’’ she said. The Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) President Pritam Singh said that the issue of the U—health cards would also be raised by the party because the Covernment employees are facing problems as the Government has decided to discontinue these cards.
