Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on December 11 said despite financial straits, the Congress government has fulfilled three key election promises in its first year of rule and would be implementing at least three more poll guarantees next year, including a pension of ₹1,500 to all women above 18 years of age in a phased manner.
He was addressing a rally ‘Vyavastha Parivartan ka Ek Saal’ at Dharamshala in Kangra district to mark one year of his government.
“From January 2024 all the women of district Lahaul-Spiti who are over 18 years of age would be given ₹1,500 per month. The promise of providing monthly ₹1,500 made to all the women of the State would also be met in a phased manner. Not only this, the State government will bear the expenses for higher education of children of widows from the next fiscal,” he said.
