The winter session of the Maharashtra legislature will be held in Mumbai instead of Nagpur from December 22 to 28, state Legislative Affairs Minister Anil Parab said on Monday.

The decision to shift the venue of the session from Nagpur to Mumbai is taken considering the health of Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray. The CM had undergone spine surgery earlier this month and he has been advised not to make journeys that require flying.
