Panel Of MLAs To Prepare Report On Strengthening Assembly Secretariat: HP CM Sukhu
The Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh, Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, has announced the formation of a committee to prepare a report on strengthening the Assembly secretariat in order to safeguard the dignity of MLAs. This decision was made after several MLAs complained about their encounters with police officials and bureaucrats.

The issue was raised through a point of order by Congress member Bhawani Singh Pathania, who alleged that his vehicle was fined by a judicial magistrate for displaying an MLA flag even though the official himself had his name plate on his car. Other members too made similar complaints.
Sukhu said MLAs work hard to win the elections and reach the Assembly, and their dignity must be upheld. It will be enquired if the judicial officer who penalised the MLA was authorised to display his name plate on his vehicle, he said. Undermining the dignity of any MLA is tantamount to weakening the Assembly secretariat, the chief minister said.
