Chandigarh, December 18

Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting Anurag Thakur will be in the city tomorrow to campaign for BJP candidates contesting the MC elections, scheduled for December 24.

The event was earlier scheduled for December 10. However, it was cancelled due to a helicopter crash on December 8 in which CDS Bipin Rawat, his wife and 12 other armed forces personnel died.

Shivender Mandotra, convener, Himachal Cell, BJP, said ‘Himachali dham’ would be organised by the cell at the Rally Ground in Sector 25 tomorrow. Anurag Thakur will grace the occasion in the evening.

Noted Himachali folk singer Karnail Rana will regale the audience and dance troupe from HP will perform a series of ‘Paharis Nati’. He said a special chef team (bhotis) had been invited from Jogindernagar, which would prepare a blend of regional Kangri, Mandiyali, Hamirpuri and Bilaspuri ‘dhams’.
