Karnataka’s Vidhana Soudha to be lit up on weekends, holidays

Bengaluru : Every weekend and on public holidays henceforth, the power centre of the state — Vidhana Soudha — will be decked up in spectacular hues. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah inaugurated the permanent illumination system at the Soudha, which was lit up in the tricolour, on Sunday evening. For now, the lighting will be from 6.30 pm to 10 pm during weekends and public holidays. There are also plans to extend this for all seven days of the week in the future.

“People have chosen and sent us to Vidhana Soudha to give justice to even the most marginalised people of the state. We should strive hard to achieve the idea behind constructing this building,” the CM said. On behalf of the government, he congratulated Karnataka Legislative Assembly Speaker U T Khader for his initiative of illuminating Vidhana Soudha.
