The Chief Minister will also inaugurate on that day the solar power project which will partially supply electricity to the Vidhana Soudha, he said.

Speaking to presspersons, Mr. Khader said that the entrance has beautiful carvings of Karnataka style and has been developed by Karnataka State Forest Industries Corporation (KSFIC) and the Public Works Department.

The Public Works Department has invited bids to develop the entrance gates near the grand steps of the Vidhana Soudha and from the High Court side, he said.
