The draft law has also capped size of land for residential purposes at 250 sq metres per family. Proposed legislation to be tabled in ongoing Budget Session of the Assembly.
By-election, to be held on 20 November, was necessitated by the death of Kedarnath MLA Shaila Rawat in July. CM Dhami has announced 39 projects for constituency in short span.
Move comes at a time when UP too is considering ordinances to prevent incidents of spitting in food. Congress asks why Dhami doesn't publicly remark on 'rapes & overall lawlessness too'.
CM also reviewed repair works undertaken on roads, bridges damaged and directed officials to take necessary steps to normalise arrangements in affected areas.
