Pachhad MLA announces Rs 6L for temple renovation at Habban Kali Tokru Mela

The two-day Mata Kali Tokru Mela concluded with great enthusiasm at Habban panchayat under Rajgarh subdivision of Sirmaur district. Pachhad MLA Reena Kashyap attended the closing ceremony as the chief guest and addressed a large public gathering on the occasion.

In her address, the MLA said that fairs and festivals were the true reflection of India’s rich cultural heritage and played a vital role in strengthening social harmony and community bonding. She added that such events had been an integral part of Indian tradition for centuries, keeping people connected with their roots.

Kashyap expressed her deep connection with Habban, referring to it “as dear to me as my own constituency”. She assured the gathering that once a BJP government was formed in Himachal Pradesh, the Habban region would be developed as a prominent tourist destination.

The MLA announced Rs 5 lakh for the renovation of the historic Habban Temple and an additional Rs 1 lakh for the fair organising committee. The event also featured sports competitions, where Kashyap presented trophies to the winning and runner-up teams, encouraging youth participation in traditional and cultural activities.
