Speaking on the occasion, the MLA appreciated the Municipal Council’s initiative to develop public spaces and improve the overall environment of the town. He said such facilities provide residents with a clean, green and pleasant place while also contributing to the beautification of Jawalamukhi.

According to the event details shared by the Nagar Parishad, the inauguration will be held on Monday, September 14, 2026, at 3 pm near the Anganwadi Bhawan in Ward No. 7, at the boundary of Wards 5 and 7. Jawalamukhi MLA Sanjay Rattan will inaugurate the project as the chief guest.

He said the freedom fighters not only secured independence for the country but also left behind ideals, values and principles that continue to guide the nation. He urged the younger generation to preserve these values and incorporate them into their daily lives.

She urged people to keep an eye on their surroundings and immediately inform their respective ward member, Municipal Council representatives or the police if they notice any suspicious person or activity. She stressed that public safety is not only the responsibility of the administration and police but also requires active cooperation from citizens.

She also thanked Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Sanjeev Sharma, who administered the oath of office and secrecy. In addition, Sharma expressed her appreciation to all Municipal Council councillors, government officials, employees, elected representatives, distinguished citizens, members of the media, and everyone who attended the oath-taking ceremony.

She lauded the efforts of the District Yogasana Sports Association, Kangra, for organizing such a meaningful event that encourages young people to adopt yoga as a healthy lifestyle while providing a competitive platform to showcase their talent. She also encouraged the participants to continue practicing diligently and strive to represent Himachal Pradesh at national and international levels.

Expressing her gratitude after being elected, President Som Kiran Sharma thanked the residents of Jawalamukhi, fellow councillors, and MLA Sanjay Rattan for their trust and support.

Congress leader Gyaneshwar Sharma described the outcome as a clear endorsement of the party’s policies and leadership. He said the people of Jawalamukhi had reaffirmed their faith in Congress despite a strong challenge from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), giving the party a decisive mandate for local governance.

Residents of Jawalamukhi believe that an educated and visionary woman leader can bring meaningful changes to the town. People are expecting improvements in areas such as sanitation, parking management, drinking water facilities, tourism infrastructure, women’s safety, and youth-related opportunities if she takes charge as Municipal Council President.

During her campaign, Som Kiran Sharma has been highlighting key issues such as development, cleanliness, improved drinking water supply, better roads, and enhanced street lighting facilities. She stated that if elected, she would work with honesty and dedication to transform Ward No. 1 into a model and well-developed ward.
