Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu today participated in the installation ceremony of a 108-feet tall Hanuman Dhwaja (flag)<\/strong> at the iconic Jakhu Temple in Shimla, offering prayers for the peace and prosperity of the people of the state. The installation, held amidst religious fervor, reinforces Jakhu Temple’s status as a spiritual landmark and a major tourist attraction.<\/p>\n

Speaking to media after the ceremony, CM Sukhu said the historic Jakhu Temple\u2014home to the world\u2019s tallest statue of Lord Hanuman\u2014holds immense religious and cultural importance. He reaffirmed the State Government\u2019s commitment to enhance the spiritual and tourism potential of the site by improving facilities such as parking, seating, and other amenities for devotees, while ensuring ecological balance.<\/p>\n

The Chief Minister also disclosed plans to install a statue of Lord Ram<\/strong> at the temple premises. \u201cWe are currently addressing procedural challenges under the Forest Conservation Act (FCA) to make this possible,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Relief and Rehabilitation Efforts in Disaster-Hit Regions<\/h3>\n

Addressing the recent natural disasters caused by heavy monsoon rains, CM Sukhu said the government is working round-the-clock to provide relief and rehabilitation<\/strong> to affected people. \u201cThe Leader of Opposition has also been in constant touch with me, as his constituency is among the worst affected. Areas such as Seraj, Dharampur, Karsog, and Nachan have suffered significant damage,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He further stated that Union Ministers were fully briefed on the situation during his recent visit to New Delhi. \u201cWe hope the Union Home Minister\u2019s forthcoming visit to Himachal will bring more relief for the people,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The Chief Minister reiterated that rehabilitation remains a top priority<\/strong>, including reopening roads in affected areas to allow the transport of apples, vegetables, and other produce. \u201cWe will provide compensation for damage to homes, cattle sheds, livestock, and personal belongings,\u201d he assured.<\/p>\n

Non-forest land is being allocated for rehabilitation, while forest land proposals are being pursued through proper channels with the Centre. Additionally, affected individuals choosing to live in rented accommodation will receive Rs. 5,000 per month as rental assistance<\/strong>. Relief camps have also been set up in rest houses across the state.<\/p>\n

New PWD Rest House Inaugurated at Chhota Shimla<\/h3>\n

Later in the day, the Chief Minister inaugurated the newly constructed Public Works Department (PWD) Rest House<\/strong> at Chhota Shimla, built at a cost of Rs. 4.15 crore<\/strong>. The rest house features 9 suites<\/strong> and has been constructed on a priority basis by the state government.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

CM Sukhu said all government rest houses are now being made available to the general public at uniform rates through an online booking system<\/strong>. \u201cWe have standardized room tariffs for both VIPs and common citizens in Himachal Bhawan and Himachal Sadan,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Tourism Still Safe in Most Parts of the State<\/h3>\n

Dispelling negative portrayals circulating on social media, the Chief Minister reassured tourists that Himachal Pradesh remains largely safe and open<\/strong> for visitors. \u201cWhile some areas have been affected by rains, a major part of the state is safe to explore. Over 70 lakh people live here<\/strong>, and the tourism sector is still active,\u201d he said, welcoming tourists with open arms.<\/p>\n

The event was attended by Rural Development and Panchayati Raj Minister Anirudh Singh<\/strong>, MLA Kamlesh Thakur<\/strong>, Principal Advisor (Media) to CM Naresh Chauhan<\/strong>, Chairman of HP State Cooperative Bank Devender Shyam<\/strong>, Vice Chairman of HP State Industrial Development Corporation Vishal Chambiyal<\/strong>, Shimla Mayor Surender Chauhan<\/strong>, Deputy Mayor Uma Kaushal<\/strong>, and Deputy Commissioner Anupam Kashyap<\/strong>, among other dignitaries.<\/p>\n
