Ushering in the New Year with a wave of development, Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu inaugurated and laid foundation stones for projects worth Rs 197.93 crore in Kullu district. From bustling market spaces to crucial infrastructure bridges, these initiatives promise to transform the region's landscape and empower its people.
Standing amidst towering snow-capped peaks, Sukhu officially opened the doors of the Bandrol Sabzi Mandi, a vibrant hub for local growers and traders. He then crossed the roaring Beas River on the newly constructed double-lane bridge in Raison, symbolizing a vital link for enhanced connectivity. And in Marhi Tehsil of Manali, an eco-friendly market marked a commitment to sustainable development.
"These projects are not just bricks and mortar; they are catalysts for progress," declared Sukhu, addressing the enthusiastic crowd. "They will boost local economies, improve accessibility, and create new opportunities for all."
But the Chief Minister's vision extended beyond shiny edifices. He acknowledged the challenges faced by Himachalis in the wake of last year's natural disasters. "Despite financial constraints, we tackled adversity head-on," he asserted. "We revamped policies and swiftly ensured swift assistance to affected families."
As a testament to this resolve, Sukhu highlighted the Mukhyamantri Sukh-Ashraya Yojna launched on January 1, 2023. And on this New Year's Day, he unveiled another ambitious program - a comprehensive educational scheme tailored for Divyang children.
"Our vision is to build a world-class institution that caters to their every need," explained Sukhu. "From quality school education to advanced skill training, it will unlock their full potential, allowing them to excel in academics, sports, and every arena of life."
His words resonated with the crowd, echoing a message of hope and inclusivity. As the snow glistened in the winter sun, the inauguration of these projects marked not just a new year, but a new era of development and empowerment for Himachal Pradesh.
