Good to see CM Sukhu focusing on both development and environment. The e-vehicle charging stations will be a game-changer for Himachal's tourism sector. But I hope they maintain the natural beauty while implementing these projects. �⛰️

Cow sanctuaries are a much-needed initiative! Stray cattle have been a major problem for farmers across Himachal. Hope this gets implemented properly and doesn't remain just on paper like many other schemes.

The eco-tourism project sounds exciting! Tree houses and nature trails will attract more tourists to Hamirpur. But please ensure local communities benefit from this - employment opportunities should go to Himachali youth first.

While the initiatives are good, I'm concerned about the implementation. Previous governments also made big promises for Solan district but development has been slow. Hope this time things will be different with proper monitoring.

The focus on healthcare and education in rural areas is commendable. Day boarding schools with modern facilities can really improve education quality in hilly regions. But teachers' training should also be prioritized.

Virtual reviews are efficient but I hope the CM also makes physical visits to check ground reality. Sometimes officials show rosy pictures in meetings that don't match actual progress. On-site inspections are equally important!
