Himachal Pradesh Public Works Minister Vikramaditya Singh on June 21 decried the attempts to give a regional tinge to the conflict between the taxi operators of Shimla and Sirmaur districts, saying that regionalism would not be tolerated in the State. The Minister made the remark a day after the Sirmaur Taxi Union accused Rural Development Minister Anirudh Singh of regional bias and demanded his resignation.
“Our Chief Minister and government are of the clear view that regionalism will not be tolerated in the State as all regions of the State are considered as a single identity,” Mr. Singh had said on June 20.
