Stop indiscriminate construction works- CM Sukhu

The Chief Minister said that the pain of all the hill states including Himachal is our shared pain. This is also a matter of national concern, not just geographical crisis. Because global warming is the most on the mountains. Consciousness and action in time are the biggest need today. I urge the Central Government to stop indiscriminate construction works. Because our mountains are not just a tourist destination, but pillars of life-protection.

CM Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu said that house, livestock and farming have suffered heavy damage in disaster. Our government is standing with the affected brothers and sisters in this difficult time. We are leaving no stone unturned in rehabilitation work.

What does it mean to be a disaster?

Being a disaster affected state means that the government has kept it in a special category, considering the condition of natural disasters serious. The state may get additional help and funds for relief and rehabilitation from the central government and other sources. Relief rescue operations, reconstruction and help of victims will be rapidly done.

India celebrates 26 July every year as Kargil Vijay Day. This day is celebrated in memory of the brave soldiers who sacrificed their lives while fighting Pakistan in 1999. This was not just a war, but an example of India’s courage, unity and sacrifice. In 1999, Pakistan’s army and terrorists together captured the high hills of Kargil. The Indian Army started operation victory to defeat him.

The fight lasted for about 60 days, in which India finally won on 26 July 1999 and hoisted the tricolor on every peak. 527 Indian soldiers were martyred in this war. As soon as this day comes, a wave of patriotism runs in the hearts of every Indian and the sacrifices of the martyrs start coming in front of the eyes. In such a situation, let us know that the most soldiers of which state were martyred in the Kargil war.

Which state soldiers were martyred the most in the Kargil war?

In the Kargil war, 527 Indian soldiers were martyred, including 75 soldiers from Uttarakhand. This number is the highest compared to any state. This small state lost his brave sons from every district, and their martyrdom can never be forgotten. The special thing is that 15 percent of the population of Uttarakhand is of ex -servicemen. The soldiers of Garhwal Rifles and Kumaon Regiment of Uttarakhand set an example of valor in this war. 47 soldiers of Garhwal Rifles alone were martyred, out of which 41 were from Uttarakhand. 16 soldiers of Kumaon Regiment were also martyred.

After Uttarakhand, the highest martyrdom state was Himachal Pradesh, whose 52 soldiers were martyred in this war, Captain Vikram Batra who got posthumously Paramveer Chakra and Rifleman Sanjay Kumar got him as Paramveer Chakra while alive was from Himachal.

India’s victory, but what is the big price

In this war, India spent around 5,000 to 10,000 crores. Air Force operation alone took Rs 2000 crore. But the biggest price was the martyrdom of our 527 brave soldiers. At the same time, Pakistan also suffered heavy losses, about 3000 of its soldiers were killed, although Pakistan has told about only 357 deaths.

Vimal Negi Death Case: The incidents that came out after the CBI inquiry in the case of Vimal Negi death in Himachal Pradesh has increased in Himachal. The BJP is an attack on the government in the case. Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu responded to the BJP attacks as soon as he returned from Delhi to respond to the BJP attacks.

What did Chief Minister Sukhvindra Singh Sukhu say on CBI investigation?

Chief Minister Sukhvindra Singh Sukhu said that BJP is doing politics in the case. Vimal Negi’s family should get justice. The government welcomes the CBI investigation in the Vimal Negi case. For this, whatever the CBI will ask for from the state government, we are ready to give. CM said that Vimal Negi has committed suicide or for what reasons he died, complete information should be revealed. The government will not go to court against the case of handing over the investigation to the CBI.

The Chief Minister said that when the family and employees demonstrated the body of Vimal Negi on the road, Minister Jagat Negi told me that MD and Director should be worked. The government took action and I spoke to Vimal Negi’s wife over the phone and assured to investigate the case. But BJP is doing politics in this.

CM Sukhu said that we also constituted an inquiry committee under the chairmanship of Omkar Sharma. We filed an FIR, but the report was delayed. Minister Rajesh Dharmani was also sent to Kinnaur to meet Vimal Negi’s family, but could not meet due to the family being outside the village.

The CM admitted that a mutual tussle of police officers has come to light while giving the report in the High Court. Before filing an affidavit in the DGP court, I met me and asked to change the SIT. I denied and said that a better case should be handed over to the CBI. The police submitted a separate report in the court and the DGP gave a separate affidavit. The indiscipline of the officials will not tolerate the government.

Jairam Thakur targeted

The Chief Minister said that in the report of Additional Chief Secretary, many allegations were reported about the Pkhubela project, but those who accused them should not have known their favor. Therefore, the report was asked to take legal opinion. Due to which the report was delayed. But BJP was busy in getting the media trial done by doing politics. Jairam Thakur should talk on reality, the public should not mislead. Repeated lying does not change the truth.

Reversing the allegations of Harsh Mahajan, Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh said that Harsh Mahajan, who became a Rajya Sabha MP with corruption votes, should not give him advice. During the previous Congress government, when Harsh Mahajan was the chairman of the cooperative bank as the cooperative bank, the BJP had declared his appointment as wrong. How did that Pakistan become clean by going to BJP?

Himachal BJP: Former Himachal Industries Minister and BJP MLA Bikram Thakur on Tuesday launched a scathing attack on the Congress government in Shimla. During this, he said that the present government of Himachal is working against every class, which is the most needed of social security and constitutional rights. Whether it is BPL survey, autonomy of panchayats, employee interest, women honor or public facilities, the government has taken anti -people decisions on every front.

Accused of depriving BPL list

Bikram Thakur said that the government has fixed the annual income of ₹ 50,000 to join the BPL list, but this standard is being implemented only on families already listed in the list. The actual income of poor families making new applications is being deliberately depicted at the tehsil level above ₹ 50,000, so that they can be denied BPL list.

He raised the question that if a poor family has found a pucca room under the housing scheme of the previous BJP government, is it now out of the category of poverty? The government should clarify that the poor who take advantage of the scheme are no longer entitled to stay in the BPL list? The maximum limit of land from two hectare to one hectare is a proof of the poor anti -mentality of the government.

Bikram Thakur alleged that the government had abolished the financial and administrative powers of the panchayats. Now bypassing the decisions of the Gram Sabha, the officials have been given the right to decide who will be in the BPL list. Withdrawing the interest of the panchayat fund, ordering the reversal within three days on the unappointed amount and taking away the income of property tax – all this shows that the government wants to fully weaken the panchayats.

Village employment servants posted in the gram panchayats of the state have not received salary for the last three months. Sewing teachers, panchayat chowkidars and other honorary employees are also waiting for payment for the last five months. There are about 900 posts of Chowkidars, which the government did not run any process to fill. The chowkidars who completed the 10 -year term, are not being made even daily wage bhogi. Bikram Thakur said that today Pradhan himself has to work as a watchman – the more shameful situation has never been in the Panchayati Raj system.
