Shimla, Feb 14 || Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Saturday said the state government is providing support price for milk and soon minimum support price (MSP) will be given on ginger also.
Within a year the Sarahan hospital will have specialist doctors and ultrasound machine. He announced opening of a CBSE school in Sarahan and double-laning of the Sarahan-Chandigarh road.
Addressing a public gathering in Sarahan, he promised to fulfill all demands of local Congress leader Dayal Pyari and former Assembly Speaker Gangu Ram Musafir.
Remembering state's first Chief Minister Dr Y.S. Parmar, the Chief Minister said that he enacted Section 118 of the Himachal Pradesh Tenancy and Land Reforms Act, 1972, which regulates the transfer of land to non-agriculturists, to protect the interests of the people of Himachal Pradesh and the current government is following his footsteps.
He said the state had been receiving the Revenue Deficit Grant (RDG) since Dr Parmar's time, but the 16th Finance Commission took away this 77 year old right.
"The RDG belongs to the people of Himachal, not the government."
