“Tourism and hydropower sectors are the mainstay of the economy of the state, and the state government is committed to promoting both the sectors for sustainable growth,” he told the officers. “Recently, I visited Shipki La in Kinnaur district to inaugurate border tourism. So far more than 2,500 people have visited this place. This is a testament to our commitment to promoting tourism sector,” he said.
