HP Govt preparing 'Blue Print' for promoting tourism in Palampur: CM

Palampur, Mar 14 (UNI) Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, while addressing a public meeting at Palampur in district Kangra on Thursday, said that the government was preparing a blueprint to promote tourism activities in Palampur. He said that since the formation of new government in state, development of Kangra district has been his priority, and we have pledged to make Kangra the 'Tourism Capital' of the state. To increase the footfall of domestic and international tourists, the Kangra Airport is also being expanded to promote tourism, he said.
Making a series of announcements for the Palampur constituency, the Chief Minister announced adequate funds for the Martyr Memorial in Palampur. Besides, he announced the installation of an MRI machine and an operation theatre in Palampur Hospital, a sewerage scheme for the town, and the expansion of the OBC Bhawan and Palampur bus stands. He assured the provision of adequate funds for the construction of the BDO office complex and additional district-level court offices in Palampur. He also announced the construction of the railway overhead bridge over Badehad-Patti Road, the Lingati Khad-Nagri Manimahesh Road, the bridge on Nagani to Lasedu Chimbalhar Road, and the railway overhead bridge near Rajpur Goswami Ganesh Dutt College, Palampur.
The Chief Minister said that during the Rajya Sabha elections, six rebel MLAs cross-voted in favour of the BJP candidate. He said that a former Congress minister and sitting MLA from Kangra district played an anchor's role in cross-voting and betraying the government. Not only this, on the day of voting on the budget, these six rebel MLAs left for Panchkula in a helicopter under the protection of the CRPF and Haryana Police. They were later shifted to Haridwar, Rishikesh, and now they were at Gurugram, busy making plans to topple the government in connivance with the BJP. "I have a long political career of 35 years and have struggled to reach where I am now, but never conspired against the Party," stated Sh. Sukhu added that he was used to such challenges and was not afraid of such conspiracies. It is unfortunate that, unfortunately, few people have sold their moral values for money, he reiterated.
