Govind Singh said more than Rs 27 lakh had been spent on the building of the hospital and cattle grazers of the area would get good facilities at their doorsteps.

The minister said apart from expansion of roads, drinking water, education, health and other basic facilities during the past two years, around Rs 6 crore had been allocated for small development works in all panchayats of the Manali Assembly constituency.

Apart from these, financial assistance of nearly Rs 3.5 crore had been provided to the poor, needy and victims of serious illnesses.
