Being constructed at an approximate cost of Rs 145 crore, the Himachal Niketan is designed as a state-of-the-art facility to cater to the needs of people from Himachal Pradesh visiting the national capital.
Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu made this announcement in the State Legislative Assembly, which was held at Dharamshala on Thursday.
He informed that an important decision regarding this was taken in the recent Cabinet meeting.
He said the rising revenue from GST, Excise, Value Added Tax (VAT), Passengers and Goods Tax (PGT), and other taxes on goods reflects improved efficiency and better compliance following reforms introduced by the state government since 2022-23.
He directed the department to prepare an action plan for their optimum utilization in the larger public interest, adding that wastage of public funds merely on construction was unacceptable.
The Chief Minister personally spoke to Renuka Thakur over the phone and extended his congratulations to her and the entire Indian squad for their remarkable performance.
Transparency and timely payments to farmers have also been ensured, he added.
The Chief Minister urged the Union Minister to enhance the annual allocation for the State under the National Health Mission (NHM) by Rs. 200 crore in the next financial year.
He requested the Union Minister to provide one Doppler weather radar and 150 automated weather stations across the state before the next monsoon season to ensure early and accurate warnings of natural disasters.
