Good to see infrastructure development in Himachal! The Banjar bypass will ease traffic congestion significantly. Hope the flood protection works are completed before monsoon hits. Our hill states need more such projects. 👍

As someone from Kullu, I'm happy but skeptical. Previous governments also made big announcements but quality was compromised. Hope this time they use good materials, especially for bridges in flood-prone areas. Tourism depends on these roads!

₹78 crore is a good start but Himachal needs much more. The multi-story parking at Banjar bus stand is a smart move - last time I visited, parking was a nightmare! Hope they maintain it properly unlike other government buildings.

Water supply schemes are the real game changers for rural women! No more walking kilometers for water. But officials must ensure regular maintenance - many past projects stopped working after 1-2 years. #HarGharJal

While development is welcome, I hope they're doing proper environmental impact studies. Himachal's beauty lies in its natural balance. Flood protection is needed but shouldn't harm the fragile Himalayan ecosystem. Sustainable development only!

The science lab at Sainj is a great initiative! 🧪 Young minds in rural areas deserve quality education infrastructure. Hope they equip it properly and train teachers to use it effectively, not just for show.
