Complete development targets on schedule, says Mandi MP Kangana Ranaut

At yesterday’s quarterly meeting of the District Development Coordination and Monitoring Committee (DISHA), Mandi MP Kangana Ranaut called on officials to complete development targets on schedule.

Reviewing various Central Government-sponsored schemes, she stressed that all concerns raised by non-government committee members must be addressed swiftly to ensure beneficiaries and the public receive timely benefits.

Highlighting critical nature of the session, Ranaut issued specific directives to tackle issues related to electricity, water and road infrastructure as raised during the meeting. She directed officials from the National Highway Authority and the Public Works Department to inspect these issues on site, ensuring that the problems affecting local communities are resolved quickly. Additionally, she urged the Education Department to integrate subjects such as yoga, classical music, Gita and Puranas into the curriculum.

Kullu MLA Sunder Singh Thakur suggested transferring the 16-km-long Malana road to the Public Works Department (PWD), while Banjar MLA Surender Shourie pressed for the establishment of an electricity sub-station in Larji to alleviate low-voltage issues. Anni MLA Lokender also called for improvements in the road conditions within the Anni Assembly constituency.

DC Torul S Raveesh welcomed the active participation of MPs and MLAs. She assured that the committee’s suggestions would be implemented faithfully.

Later, at the District Level Electricity Committee meeting, the MP directed the Electricity Board to develop a project proposal for supplying electricity through an underground cable system.
