SHIMLA: Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur announces SDM office at Baddi while presiding over the ‘Pragtisheel Himachal: Sathapna Ke 75 Varsh’ celebrations.
He initiated inaugurations and foundation stones of 13 developmental projects worth about Rs. 26 crore in Doon Assembly Constituency of Solan district today and announced opening of SDM (Civil) office at Baddi to facilitate the people of the area.
Chief Minister said that it was a coincidence that when the Nation was celebrating 75 years of independence, Himachal Pradesh was also celebrating 75 years of its existence.
He said that in order to celebrate the glorious 75 years' developmental journey, the State Government has decided to organize 75 events in all the 68 constituencies of the State.
He said that contributions of all the former Chief Ministers and general public were being remembered during these celebrations.
Chief Minister said that Baddi area was today the biggest Pharma hub of Asia and credit of this also goes to the former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, who announced an Industrial package for the State.
He said that now the Prime Minister Narendra Modi has sanctioned a Bulk Drug Park for the State which would be established in Una district.
He said that it was indeed a momentous moment for Himachal to get this project of National importance, as it would ensure retention of pharma formulation units as well as create employment opportunities for many years in the State.
He said that the estimated project cost of the park is about Rs 1200 crore, out of which Rs. 1000 crore would be funded by the Government of India for development of common infrastructure facilities.
Chief Minister said that soon after assuming the office in 2017, the present State Government changed the tradition of politics of vengeance and vendetta.
Jai Ram Thakur said that the Congress leaders were misleading the people of the State by making false promises with an eye on elections.
While detailing the developmental works underway in the constituency, the Chief Minister said that the Medical Devices Park has been sanctioned by the Union Government worth about Rs. 500 crore which would give a big boost to industrial development of the area.
