At its recent meeting, the state cabinet also approved the filling of 30 radiologist posts, 13 clinical psychologist posts and 6 perfusionist posts in the department of medical education, along with 10 radiographer posts for Adarsh Swasthya Sansthans under the health department.

The Commission will be headed by Justice Dharam Chand Chaudhary (Retd.), former Judge of the High Court of Himachal Pradesh as Chairperson. Advocate Vishal Panwar and IFS (Retd.) Rajesh Sharma will be its Members, while the Director, Land Records, Himachal Pradesh will serve as the Member Secretary.

Education Secretary Rakesh Kanwar, who attended as the Guest of Honour, said that Urdu and Sanskrit had been taught as additional languages in schools in Himachal Pradesh, while Punjabi was also taught in some schools, although their reach remained limited.

Dr. Bindal asserted that the Congress government should abandon the belief that the public could repeatedly be persuaded by unfulfilled promises and political announcements.

On this occasion, Union Health Minister Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda and other dignitaries planted native Himalayan saplings under the Green ICMR Campus Initiative. Shri Nadda inaugurated a scientific exhibition for school students, launched the Centre’s website and institutional video, and released a commemorative postal special cover, marking key milestones in the establishment of the ICMR Centre for High Altitude Medicine and Public Health Research at Keylong.

Referring to the Kishau Multipurpose Project, the Chief Minister said that the state government had successfully secured an agreement in accordance with Himachal Pradesh's interests, potentially saving Rs. 3,000 to Rs. 5,000 crore in expenditure on power generation. 

Dr Bindal said the BJP had reorganised its earlier 74 mandals into 171 mandals and created 17 organisational districts in Himachal Pradesh. The organisational structure has also been constituted at nearly 8,000 polling booths, while the formation of various morchas and cells has been completed.

While a rise in social-media followers cannot by itself be treated as a direct measure of electoral support, it does indicate an expanding digital audience for the MLA and his political communication.

He said that Himachal Pradesh has immense sporting talent and that young players need opportunities, facilities and encouragement to take their abilities to the next level. School-level tournaments play an important role in providing that exposure and helping talented youngsters gain competitive experience.

He said the transformation witnessed during this period can be seen through initiatives providing pucca houses to poor families, toilets, tap-water connections, health protection under Ayushman Bharat, direct financial assistance to farmers through PM-KISAN and free ration to crores of poor citizens.
