Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur today inaugurated and laid the foundation stones of 52 developmental projects worth Rs 225 crore at Panjehra in the Nalagarh Assembly constituency today.

Thakur, while addressing a public meeting at Panjehra, said that the state government was considerate towards the demands of the area. He added that the Rs 5.60 crore Nalagarh bus stand was one of the biggest stands of the state.

He said that Congress leaders politicised even a sensitive issue such as Covid vaccine. “The state today has over 50 oxygen plants as compared to only two during the Congress rule. There were only 50 ventilators in the state when the pandemic broke out, and today there are over 1,000 ventilators. Over 53 lakh masks were prepared by women in the state and distributed free of cost among the needy,” he added.
