Starting the New Year with temple blessings and a vision for self-reliance sets a positive tone. Reforms in healthcare and education are crucial for our hill state. Wishing the CM and team all the best for 2026.

'Vyavastha Parivartan' sounds good, but we've heard similar promises before. The real test is implementation on the ground, especially in remote areas. I hope this vision translates into better roads and reliable electricity for all villages.

As someone from a farming family in Kangra, I'm keenly waiting for the agricultural reforms. Our apple growers need better market access and support. Hoping this year brings concrete policies, not just announcements.

Visiting from the UK, it's impressive to see a state leader blending tradition (temple visit) with a modern vision for sustainability. Himachal's natural beauty is world-class, and protecting it while developing is a smart approach.

Promoting high-tech industries is excellent, but we must ensure they don't lead to unchecked construction and harm the fragile ecology. Balance is key. Jai Himachal! 🙏
