Dhumal urges Railways to execute pending work soon

When asked about the demand made by Sukh Ram for a CBI probe against Virbhadra Singh, Dhumal said the chargesheet had not been prepared so far. As soon as it is, action would be taken under law.

Dhumal agreed that the condition of roads in the state was not satisfactory as the former CM Virbhadra Singh had only used a helicopter so his government had ignored the maintenance of state highways. The present government was giving priority to maintenance of roads, he said.

Dhumal confessed that under the Punjab Re-organisation Act, the interests of Himachal Pradesh were sold out, but the previous Congress governments at Delhi and Shimla did not plead the case of HP in Parliament and the Vidhan Sabha. He promised to take up the issue with the Union government.

Dhumal said the construction work on Kol Dam, Chamera-II, Malana project, Larji project and Sawra project would start soon. This would generate jobs for thousands of unemployed youths.
