PM Modi greets Himachal on statehood day, lauds culture and heritage

PM Narendra Modi extends Himachal Day greetings, praising the state's traditions and people. He also visits Karnataka to inaugurate a memorial temple.

"Heartfelt greetings of Himachal Day to all the residents of Himachal. - Prime Minister Narendra Modi"

New Delhi, April 15

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday extended greetings to the people of Himachal Pradesh on statehood Day, highlighting the state's rich traditions, cultural heritage, and the humility and diligence of its people.

He also prayed for a bright and prosperous future for all families in the state.

In a post on X, PM Modi wrote, "Heartfelt greetings of Himachal Day to all the residents of Himachal. This sacred land of the gods holds a special identity due to its rich traditions, unparalleled cultural heritage, and the diligence, sense of duty, and humility of the people here. On this auspicious occasion, I pray for a bright future for all the families of the state."

Himachal Day is celebrated on April 15 every year. It was on this day in 1948 that the state of Himachal Pradesh came into existence.

On December 18, 1970, the State of Himachal Pradesh Act was passed by the Parliament, and the new state came into being on January 25, 1971. Himachal then became the eighteenth state of the Indian Union. This event is marked by the public holiday of Statehood Day in Himachal Pradesh on January 25th, every year.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to visit Karnataka on April 15.

At around 11 AM, the Prime Minister will inaugurate the Sri Guru Bhairavaikya Mandira at Sri Kshetra Adichunchanagiri in Mandya district. He will also address the gathering on the occasion, according to the official release from the Prime Minister's Office.

During the visit, the Prime Minister will also jointly release the book titled "Saundarya Lahari and Shiva Mahimna Stotram" along with former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda ji.

Sri Guru Bhairavaikya Mandira is a memorial dedicated to the revered seer, Sri Sri Sri Dr. Balagangadharanatha Mahaswamiji, the 71st Pontiff of Sri Adichunchanagiri Mahasamsthana Math. Constructed in the traditional Dravidian architectural style, the Mandira stands as a tribute to the life and legacy of the late seer. The Mandira is envisioned not only as a place of reverence but also as a source of inspiration for future generations.

It's good to see the PM acknowledging all states on their important days. However, I hope such greetings are followed by concrete actions for Himachal, especially regarding the recent infrastructure damage from landslides. Wishes need solid backing.
