Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur inaugurated developmental projects of Rs 11 crore in the Rampur Assembly constituency of Shimla district through video-conferencing here today.

Thakur inaugurated the commerce block of Degree College, Rampur, constructed at a cost of Rs 2.44 crore, the building of the Primary Health Centre at Phancha built at a cost of Rs 90.79 lakh, and a Rs 85.08-lakh gravity water supply scheme at Kungal Balti gram panchayat, which would benefit about 870 people of four habitations.

He also inaugurated the Rs 1.55-crore Khakrola Flow Irrigation Scheme at Shingala gram panchayat to irrigate about 60.15 hectares and a Rs 5.30-crore multi-storeyed car parking at the Indira Market Phase-I in Ward No. 3 of the Nagar Parishad, Rampur, which could accommodate 80 vehicles.

The Chief Minister said that these projects would usher in a new era of progress and prosperity in Rampur. He added that he would have visited the area and dedicated all these schemes to the people but the pandemic forced him to go for a virtual address.

Thakur said that the government was ensuring that the pace of development did not suffer due to the pandemic.
