Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on July 5 hit out at the previous Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Government, accusing it of neglecting the State’s interests, and said the Congress Government in the State was committed to ensuring balanced and uniform development of the entire State by rising above regional sentiments.
After virtually laying the foundation stone of a modern police station at Shahpur in Kangra district, from Chandigarh, the Chief Minister said that his government was working to attract investments in the IT sector to the State.
Mr. Sukhu said despite Himachal Pradesh’s challenging economic condition, there would be no shortage of funds for development. He said the government was working towards developing Kangra district as the State’s ‘tourism capital’, and to enhance the footfall of international and domestic tourists, Kangra airport would be expanded.
