They were content with the districts included in the two divisions of the hills-Kumaon and Garhwal. The resolution, with 26 amendments passed in the House through a division voting by `raising of hands', had sought exclusion of Haridwar district but decided to retain the controversial Udham Singh Nagar district in the proposed state. www.bostonglobalaction.net /UK/news-1998-9.html   (6261 words)
