The Gaddi community from Palampur has expressed gratitude to Chief Minister Sukhvinder Sukhu for providing immediate relief to Gaddi shepherds stranded in Lahaul and Spiti during the last monsoon catastrophe.
A delegation of people from the Gaddi community of Palampur Assembly constituency, led by Ashish Butail, Chief Parliamentary Secretary, Urban Development and Education, met the CM at the Legislative Assembly Complex here on Saturday.
