Nice to see President Murmu being welcomed so warmly in Himachal. The state has always shown great hospitality. But I wish they'd focus more on development issues like the apple harvest crisis and road conditions rather than just hosting banquets.

President Droupadi Murmu ji ka swagat! She represents the tribal communities so well. Himachal is proud to host her. Mashobra is such a serene place for her stay. 👌

State banquets are all good, but what about the common people? The President should also meet with local communities and hear their problems. Himachal has many issues with tourism management and environmental degradation.
