Himachal Pradesh government is committed to fulfilling all poll promises in a phased manner and lack of funds would not come in the way of development, Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla said on Wednesday in his ceremonial address to the state legislature.
In his speech on the opening day of the budget session, the governor highlighted the efforts made by the Congress government in facing the challenges posed by the “worst ever natural disaster” during the Monsoon and also focused on green energy initiatives pursued by the current dispensation.
He said that the state government increased the relief under the special package by 5 to 20 times more than the norms of the Union Government and the relief for completely damaged houses was increased from Rs 1.30 lakh to Rs 7 lakh.
