As someone who has visited Kangra, the road infrastructure there really needs an upgrade. The NABARD-funded roads mentioned here are a step in the right direction. Hope the execution is timely and the quality is good. The industrial area could also bring much-needed jobs.

Good to see focus on health with the Adarsh Swasthya Sansthan. Rural healthcare is often neglected. The support for Mahila Mandals is also a positive, women's self-help groups are the backbone of many villages. Hope the stadium renovation benefits the youth.

While announcing projects is easy, completing them on time is the real challenge. We've seen many foundation stones laid before elections with work stalling later. I sincerely hope this ₹150+ crore investment sees proper follow-through and doesn't remain on paper.

Bringing back the Chief Engineer's office for the Shah Canal to Fatehpur is a big win for local administration and will speed up work. The combined office building will also reduce public hassle. Practical governance like this is what people want. Bahut badhiya!

The scale of investment is impressive. A 103-crore bridge is a major infrastructure piece. It's crucial for hilly states like HP to have robust connectivity for both safety and economic growth. Hope the environmental impact on the Beas basin is carefully managed.
