Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary said the 2028 budget session is likely to be held in the new building.
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah inspected the under-construction Legislative Assembly complex near the Civil Secretariat on Tuesday, according to the Daily Excelsior.
Accompanied by Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary and Additional Chief Secretary (Public Works Department) Anil Kumar Singh, Abdullah reviewed the progress of the construction and inspected the halls, rooms, and other facilities.
Choudhary told reporters that officials expect the project to be completed by October 2027.
The Deputy Chief Minister said that if the Almighty wishes, the 2028 budget session and the subsequent budget presentation will take place in the new hall.
