The minister also announced plans to develop a parking facility in Kachchi Ghati. “Once land is identified, funds will be allocated for the construction of the parking facility which will help alleviate traffic congestion in the area,” he said.

Singh further said 24-hour high-pressure water supply scheme for Shimla was in its final stages. He said the scheme would benefit not only city’s residents, but also those living in Kachchi Ghati and the surrounding areas.
