Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur on Monday underlined the need for preserving the rich culture and tradition of Himachal Pradesh.

While addressing the people on the occasion of Maa Baglamukhi Mela at Bharari in Seraj Assembly constituency of Mandi District, Thakur said that fairs and festivals were integrated part of our rich cultural heritage which should be preserved at any cost.

These fairs and festivals not only provide wholesome entertainment to the locals but also help in promoting our culture and traditions, he said, adding that Bharari Mela was one of the traditional fairs of the area which was celebrated with great fervour and gaiety.

He said that the state government was committed to develop unexplored and virgin areas of the state from tourism point of view.

“State government has sanctioned Rs 25 Crore for a tourisim project for Janjehli. Basic infrastructure facilities would be provided at Janjehli, Shikari Mata temple and Gadagusain for attracting tourists to these areas.

This would not only ease out the flow of tourists in already overcrowded major tourist destinations of the state but would also provide employment and self-employment opportunities to the local youth nearer to their homes,” he said.

With the love and benevolence of the people, he was committed to make Himachal Pradesh topmost state of the country in matter of development and making it self-reliant state, he added.

He said that the State Government has succeeded to get assistance of Rs. 5510 crore as Central assistance which was a record in itself as no State Government succeeded to get financial assistance in such a short time period.

Thakur announced opening of Health Sub Centre at Surah and Rs. 10 lakh for strengthening of local road. He also announced that a Community centre would be constructed at Mela Ground Baglamukhi temple complex for which he sanctioned Rs. 25 lakh. He announced Rs 11000 each for 11 Mahila Mandals of the area.

Earlier, the Chief Minister along with his wife Dr. Sadhna Thakur performed Puja at the local Maa Baglamukhi Temple.
