The upcoming Budget Session of the Himachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly, beginning February 16, will address the Centre's move to discontinue the Revenue Deficit Grant. Despite a request for a special session being denied, the issue is set to be discussed during the regular session.

The imminent Budget Session of the Himachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly is slated to commence on February 16, according to an announcement by Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla.
