The CM also launched a series of flood mitigation and protection works, including projects worth Rs. 3.72 crore to address rain damages in Sainj market and along the Sainj khad in tehsil Sainj. He also announced the completion of several flood protection works, such as the Rs. 8.02 crore flood protection initiative from Sharabai to Bajaura along the Beas River and the Rs. 1.90 crore flood protection project near Banjar on the Tirthan khad. These projects are aimed at safeguarding communities from the destructive impact of floods and landslides, which are common challenges in the region.
In addition to infrastructure improvements, CM Sukhu highlighted his government’s focus on improving the region’s educational facilities. He inaugurated a science lab at Sainj, worth Rs. 1.35 crore, as part of the broader effort to enhance the quality of education and provide better learning opportunities for students in the area.
Among the various foundation stones laid, Sukhu marked the commencement of the Rs. 7.11 crore bridge construction over the Tirthan River and the Rs. 6.20 crore and Rs. 5.82 crore single-span steel truss bridges over the Sainj khad. He also laid the groundwork for critical road projects, such as the Johal Jeshta Ashni Puin road, valued at Rs. 4.73 crore, and the Jawal Tinda road, which will see an investment of Rs. 4.65 crore.
The Chief Minister emphasized that these projects were a part of his government’s broader vision to bring comprehensive development to the region, especially in rural and flood-prone areas. “These efforts are aimed at ensuring the safety and prosperity of our people. We are focusing on improving roads, water supply, flood protection, and other essential services to uplift the living standards of the people in Banjar,” Sukhu said during the inauguration ceremony.
CM Sukhu also stressed that the development of the Banjar constituency was a priority for his government. He reassured the people of Kullu that the state’s commitment to infrastructure development would continue, ensuring that the benefits of progress reach every corner of the state, especially the remote and underserved regions.
These large-scale infrastructure projects are expected to not only improve connectivity but also create jobs, boost the local economy, and enhance the overall quality of life for residents of Banjar and its surrounding areas. As part of the ongoing efforts to tackle flood-related challenges, the government’s initiatives will provide much-needed relief to communities living in vulnerable areas, especially along the riverbanks.
With these significant investments, the Himachal Pradesh government aims to set a benchmark for sustainable development in the state, fostering a better future for its residents.
