Belagavi to be out of bounds for Goans for 12 days

The 10-day session will be held at the imposing Suvarna Vidhan Soudha (SVS) spread in the campus of about 100 acres, about 12 km from Belagavi on NH748. Government of Karnataka will be spending around Rs 12 crore this session, 50 per cent lesser than the last year's expenses. The bicameral Legislative house has 225 MLAs and 75 MLCs.

Hotel owners have requested their guests from Goa and other places to avoid visiting the city for about 12 days commencing from Sunday.
