He criticized the central government for releasing just Rs. 137 crore of the Rs. 2,000 crore due to Himachal Pradesh under various water-related projects.<\/p>\n<h3>Local MLA Raises Development Demands<\/h3>\n<p>Local MLA Rakesh Kalia welcomed the CM and expressed gratitude for the projects dedicated to the constituency. He sought expedited funding for completing Gagret Hospital, and also urged early land acquisition for 33 KV substations in Loharli and Mubarakpur, along with support for local roads and granting <strong>district-level status to the Shivbari Fair<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>Leaders and Dignitaries in Attendance<\/h3>\n<p>The event was attended by several senior leaders, including Deputy CM Mukesh Agnihotri, MLA Sudarshan Babloo, SC Commission Chairman Kuldeep Kumar, Advocate General Anup Kumar Rattan, District Congress President Ranjeet Rana, Block Congress President Surender Kanwar, and senior district officers.<\/p>\n<p>With today\u2019s announcements, the Sukhu-led government reaffirmed its commitment to reviving Himachal Pradesh\u2019s economy, enhancing rural infrastructure, and delivering long-pending developmental promises \u2014 all while holding the previous administration accountable for alleged financial misgovernance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CM Inaugurates Rs. 75.10 Crore Projects in Gagret;
