MSP for ginger and support price for milk is a fantastic step for our farmers in Himachal. This will really strengthen the rural economy. Hope other hill states take note.

The CM's prompt response to the Kinnaur accident shows compassion. Administration should regularly audit the condition of link roads in hilly areas to prevent such tragedies.

While the projects are welcome, I hope there is transparency in tendering and execution. We've seen too many projects announced with fanfare but delayed for years. The proof will be in the completion.

Specialist doctors and an ultrasound machine in Sarahan hospital within a year? If this happens, it will be a game-changer for healthcare access in remote areas. Fingers crossed!

Double-laning of Sarahan-Chandigarh road is crucial for tourism and trade. Better roads mean safer travel and economic growth. This is infrastructure that truly matters.
