Himachal CM reviews progress of Shiv Dham project

Mandi, December 24

Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur today visited the construction site of the proposed Shiv Dham, near Kangnidhar, Mandi to review the progress in the work of this ambitious project. The first phase of the project would be completed at a cost of about Rs 40 crore.

The Chief Minister directed the executing authorities to ensure time-bound completion of this project so as to avoid price escalation. He said that this project was been executed under the ‘Nai Raahein Nai Manzilein’ scheme by the Himachal Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation.

He said this project would be an added attraction for tourists as it would have replicas of 12 ‘Jyotirlingas’. It is slated to be completed by end of July next year. — TNS
