Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday extended greetings to the people of Himachal Pradesh on the occasion of Himachal Day, praising the state’s rich cultural legacy and the character of its people.
The Chief Minister also honoured 12 women for their contribution in various fields.
The cultural programs were also presented by the students of various schools. Along with this, people were also made aware of the hazardous effects of drug consumption through street plays by the students.
The decision would benefit around 2.15 lakh employees and 1.90 Lakh pensioners and would put an additional burden of about Rs. 500 crore on the state’s exchequer.
HP Vidhan Sabha Speaker Vipin Singh Parmar and Forest Minister Rakesh Pathania will attend the state-level Himachal Day function at Chamba.
