Development activities in Himachal Pradesh will not be allowed to suffer even though the state is facing a serious financial crisis, Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu said while addressing a rally in Hamirpur town on Saturday.
He said the previous BJP government's mismanagement was responsible for the crisis and the time has come to address it. Sukhu said the construction of a bus stand in Hamirpur which had been pending for a long time would be started and funds for this would be allocated in this year's annual budget.
Praising local Independent MLA Ashish Sharma, he said the Hamirpur Medical College will be made the best in the state and people will get all facilities there in the coming days. He also announced the opening of a nursing college in Hamirpur for the benefit of local people. Sukhu said efforts would be made to boost tourism potential of the district and water-based tourism activities would be promoted in the Nadaun areas.
