Himachal’s Sacrifice Since Independence

This is regarding Himachal This Week’s cover story of August 12, 2017, “Himachal’s Sacrifice Since Independence”. Soldiers from this state have always been at the forefront when guarding country’s territorial sanctity. It is corroborated by the number of supreme sacrifices made by valiant soldiers in different wars and operations since independence. Himachal government has various welfare schemes for its ex-servicemen, war widows and others yet the Centre should also accept this hilly state’s long pending demands like recruitment quota to the army, establishing a Himalayan Regiment and others.

Haphazard Constructions

Kotrupi disaster is not only an incident but also a glaring example of mistakes of human beings. Haphazard constructions resulting in detrioration of nature has posed a question mark on human development. The successive governments have encouraged illegal constructions in th estate by brining in retention policy repeatedly with an eye on vote bank. Illegal constructions render hills weak and prone to mishaps during rainy season. Town and Country Planning Department and two prevailing municipal corporations in Himachal have failed to check illegal constrcutions. Corrective steps are required to avoid disasters in future.
