Good to see focus on Kangra district! The Ekta Mall project can really boost local artisans and small businesses. Hope they maintain the ecological balance while developing infrastructure. Himachal's beauty must be preserved. 🙏

One District-One Product is a brilliant scheme! Kangra tea and handicrafts deserve national recognition. But officials should ensure benefits actually reach local artisans, not just middlemen. #SupportLocal

Development is welcome, but why only Dharamshala getting attention? Other parts of Kangra like Palampur, Baijnath also need infrastructure boost. Hope CM Sukhu maintains balanced development across all subdivisions.

As someone from Kangra, I'm happy but skeptical. Many projects get announced but take years to complete. Hope this time they stick to deadlines and budgets. The youth here desperately need those employment opportunities!

The hospitality sector has great potential but needs proper regulation. Last time I visited, many homestays were operating without basic safety standards. Development should be quality-focused, not just quantity.

Forest approvals must not be rushed! Himachal has suffered enough from landslides and ecological damage. Development and environment protection must go hand in hand. Otherwise, we'll regret it later. 🌳
