On the occasion, MLA Sanjay Rattan was welcomed at the Municipal Council premises by Municipal Council President Som Kiran Sharma, along with councillors and Municipal Council employees. Following the welcome, the MLA inaugurated the newly constructed kitchen hall and inspected its facilities.

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.

The issue also dominated proceedings in Parliament, where opposition parties repeatedly questioned the government's handling of examination-related controversies. Student organizations maintained that the resignation was only the first step and called for systemic reforms to restore confidence among millions of aspirants.

The opposition alleged that the voter roll revision in Bihar could disenfranchise a large number of eligible voters ahead of the Assembly elections. Leaders of the INDIA bloc also renewed their demand for Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation, alleging that repeated examination paper leaks have severely affected the future of millions of students across the country.

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.

The Spokesperson said that the decision has been taken in the larger interest of students appearing in the national-level examination. Candidates can avail the free travel facility by producing their NEET-2026 Admit Card, which will serve as proof of identity, place of residence and examination centre.
