<h1>Himachal Pradesh MLAs' Funds Not Halted; Spending Deadline Extended to March 29; Medical Colleges to Charge User Fees</h1> The Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister informed the Vidhan Sabha that the MLAs Local Area Development Funds and discretionary grants have not been halted, and no such instructions have been issued. Delays are attributed to MLAs not submitting recommendations promptly. The deadline for spending discretionary funds has been extended to March 29. Medical colleges are allowed to levy minimal user charges independently. The Tanda Medical College lacks essential senior resident posts, and new lifts will be installed. For Dr. YS Parmar Government Medical College, land has been identified for relocation, pending approval from the Union Forest and Environment Ministry.
