== History ==<br />
On Uttarakhand's [[Uttarakhand movement|statehood]], some activists considered Gairsain an ideal location for the capital of the new state.<ref>{{cite news |title=Areas between Gairsain, Bhararisain to be developed as smart |url=https://www.business-standard.com/article/pti-stories/areas-between-gairsain-bhararisain-to-be-developed-as-smart-114110401051_1.html |access-date=2 December 2021 |work=Business Standard India |agency=PTI |date=4 November 2014}}</ref> But [[Dehradun]] became the temporary capital. V. N. Dixit commission, set up to decide the location of a permanent capital, rejected Gairsain as too prone to earthquakes.<ref name=ians /> In 2012, due to local demands, then [[Chief Minister of Uttarakhand]] [[Vijay Bahuguna]] held cabinet meetings in Gairsain and started construction of an assembly building in Bhararisain.<ref name=indexp /><br />
<br />
== Vidhan Sabha complex ==<br />
Covering {{convert|47|acre|ha}}, the assembly building is estimated to have cost ₹150 crores. In the summer, officials travel from Dehradun along with documents to Bhararisain for the assembly session. Complex is kept closed during the snowy winters.<ref name=indexp /><br />
