CM Sukhu Announces New PWD Division for Doon; Accuses BJP of Land Deals and Political Targeting.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Baddi, Solan:<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, during a massive public gathering in Baddi, announced the creation of a new PWD Division<\/strong> for the Doon Assembly Constituency and unveiled several major development initiatives aimed at strengthening infrastructure, healthcare, and education in the region.<\/p>\n

The Chief Minister announced the up-gradation of Baddi Civil Hospital into a 100-bedded facility<\/strong>, along with Rs. 25 crore<\/strong> for the construction of a new SDM office and Rs. 10 crore<\/strong> for a modern sports stadium in Doon. He added that the rapidly growing town of Baddi requires modern civic amenities, for which the government will also construct a state-of-the-art bus stand<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Highlighting educational reforms, CM Sukhu declared that schools in Baddi, Barotiwala, and Chandi<\/strong> would adopt the CBSE curriculum<\/strong> from the next academic session to ensure better quality education for local students.<\/p>\n

\n

Sharp Attack on Previous BJP Government<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In a scathing critique, CM Sukhu accused the previous BJP government of \u201cturning a blind eye to corruption\u201d and engaging in questionable land deals. He alleged that 5,000 bighas of land worth hundreds of crores<\/strong> were allotted to large industrial houses for just Rs. 1.12 crore<\/strong>, under customized packages.<\/p>\n

He said the then government waived stamp duties and offered electricity at Rs. 3 per unit and even free water.
\n\u201cAs long as I am the Chief Minister, I will not allow the State\u2019s assets to be plundered. We are custodians of Himachal Pradesh\u2019s resources,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n

The Chief Minister further said that BJP\u2019s social media cell was attacking him because he implemented strict anti-corruption measures and ensured the rights of widows, orphans, labourers, women and farmers.<\/p>\n

He noted that the previous BJP government left behind a debt of Rs. 75,000 crore<\/strong> and liabilities of Rs. 10,000 crore<\/strong> related to employees. To gain electoral mileage, they opened institutions in the last months of their tenure without budgetary support or staff, he claimed.<\/p>\n

\n

State Government\u2019s Reforms and Initiatives<\/strong><\/h3>\n

CM Sukhu highlighted reforms undertaken by the current Congress government, especially in education.
\nHe said Himachal Pradesh climbed from 21st to 5th position<\/strong> in national education rankings due to decisive steps like starting English-medium from Class 1<\/strong>, merging school directorates, and opening 100 new CBSE schools<\/strong> from next year.<\/p>\n

On the health front, he said the government has allocated Rs. 3,000 crore<\/strong> to strengthen medical facilities with modern equipment and advanced technology.<\/p>\n

The Chief Minister reiterated that despite challenges, Himachal Pradesh is moving steadily toward self-reliance<\/strong>. Large-scale government recruitments are planned, and he reminded the public of the recruitment paper leak during BJP\u2019s tenure.
\n\u201cWe disbanded the Commission because we believe in transparency and merit-based recruitment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\n

Support to Disaster-Affected Families<\/strong><\/h3>\n

CM Sukhu said his government is committed to helping families devastated by recent natural disasters. He has personally visited every affected area and amended the relief manual to ensure higher financial assistance.
\nRelief assistance for rebuilding homes has been increased from Rs. 1.30 lakh to Rs. 7 lakh<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

He added that although the Prime Minister announced Rs. 1,500 crore<\/strong> in assistance, the state has not yet received the funds. \u201cWe are supporting the disaster-affected families with our own resources,\u201d he said, again offering to accompany all seven BJP MPs to seek central assistance.<\/p>\n

On the occasion, the Chief Minister distributed Rs. 17,62,000<\/strong> to 18 disaster-hit families<\/strong>, Rs. 17,03,000<\/strong> to 15 PMAY-G beneficiaries<\/strong>, and provided nutrition kits to three TB patients<\/strong> under the Tuberculosis Eradication Programme.<\/p>\n

\n

Local Leadership Appreciated<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Doon MLA Chaudhary Ram Kumar thanked the Chief Minister and the people, noting that development works worth Rs<\/p>\n

475 crore<\/strong> were already underway, with nearly Rs. 400 crore<\/strong> worth of projects dedicated today alone. He said the newly inaugurated 50-bed Baddi Hospital<\/strong> marked a major milestone for the region.<\/p>\n

Health Minister Dr. (Col) Dhani Ram Shandil, MLAs Vinod Sultanpuri and Bawa Hardeep, Jogindra Cooperative Bank Chairman Mukesh Sharma, and several Congress leaders including Shiv Kumar and Surender Sethi were present.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
