The Shimla home of HH Princess Kusum of Bharatpur has an illustrious history that dates back to the late 19th century. A witness to the heydays of the Raj, Independence and the birth of Himachal Pradesh, the home has welcomed nobility and royalty.
The civic body aims to earn an income of Rs 10 crore per year by imposing the ‘green fee’.
Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Wednesday laid the foundation stone of four projects for Nadaun assembly constituency of Hamirpur district.
Nearly 1.5 lakh tourists have visited Shimla on Christmas and around 80,000 to one lakh tourists are expected for New Year celebrations, a senior police officer said.
The Leader of Opposition said that it would be good if the Congress government does some work of its own and takes credit for it.
Talking to media persons here, the Chief Minister said there had been no change in the situation from 15 to 20 April. “We were expecting that there won’t be more Covid-19 cases in HP. But this didn’t happen. So any relaxation in curfew at this moment will only spoil the things,” he said.
Even as the people living in the tight urban areas in the rural state of Himachal are missing their spacious homes back in villages, which, they said, could have offered them much more relaxation in this compulsory break, the lockdown has certainly made them realise what they always missed in the busy life.
A circular by the Additional Chief Secretary, Health, RD Dhiman said the kits are being made available to the districts with inter-state borders.
Leading from the front is Director General of Police, Himachal Pradesh SR Mardi, who has re-defined his own role in the Covid-19 crisis and so as that of the force.
“The government will review the situation after 20 April. Some limited relaxations can be given after that, depending on the Covid-19 situation in HP then,” said Additional Chief Secretary, RD Dhiman.
