Good to see Basti Ram Sharma as Pharmacists Cell convenor. Himachal has many ayurvedic and allopathic pharmacists who need representation. But these cells often become just photo-ops. Let's see if they actually solve ground-level issues like medicine shortages in remote areas.
Transport Cell convenor appointment is long overdue! Himachal's hilly terrain needs proper logistics coordination. But why have so many co-conveners? Just creates confusion. One strong leader is better than ten names. Also, hope they focus on road safety in Shimla.
Impressive list! Dev Samaj cell is a smart move - our temple communities and sadhus have huge influence in hill districts. But I wonder if they have any women in leadership beyond Lata Katoch for weavers. We need more gender diversity in these cells.
As an ex-serviceman's son, I appreciate the Ex-Servicemen Cell with Lt Cdr Patial and Brigadier Sharma. These retired officers understand our struggles with pension and medical benefits. But actions speak louder than appointments. We will watch closely. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳
Every party does this - appoint loyal workers to cells. But why do I feel this is just before elections? BJP knows their booth-level strength matters. Genuine question: Will these conveners actually visit villages or just sit in Shimla offices? 😅
