Expressing gratitude to CM Sukhu for listening to their concerns in detail and issuing necessary instructions for action, Thakur said, “CM Sukhu has assured us that a request for a separate Legislative Assembly constituency for Pangi will be made once the Delimitation Commission is notified.”

He said, “The CM also assured that discussions will be held with the Central Government regarding the construction of the Chehni Pass Tunnel project. The CM also said orders for the posting of an IAS officer as Resident Commissioner in Pangi and instructions to commence the construction of Pangi Bhawans in Kullu and Chamba have been issued.”

The CM also announced that he would be staying overnight in Pangi in April and lay the foundation stone of a 2 MW solar panel battery storage project.
