DHARAMSHALA:

The state government has yet to deposit the required funds for the land transfer necessary for constructing the campus at Jadrangal. Having been embroiled in political tangles, there is a growing concern in Kangra about a permanent campus for the varsity that was among 16 such institutions set up under the Central Universities Act, 2009. The BJP will raise the issue at a protest rally (Aakrosh Pradarshan) being organised by the party on December 18 at Dharamshala's Zorawar stadium against the two years of Congress government's "misrule", and in the House.

The Himachal winter session will be held from December 18 to 21.
